I saw the picnic mentioned before. Don't ask me where..but I did see it and I think her mother said it.
Good memory Eileen, I didn't remember anything about a picnic (or camping, to fascinated1's post). Just to be clear I believe it, just didn't remember reading/seeing it.
Maybe Erin was scoping out just how early their picnic would have to be in order for it not to be blistering hot outside. Maybe it's just me but a picnic when it's 100+ degrees out does not sound fun, even if the scenery's amazing.
