Pops in the Park and Parish Picnic

Last weekend was packed with my favorite downtown waterfront event and our annual parish picnic. The Florida Orchestra played in Vinoy Park to a packed crowd and weather that was perfect! We feasted on gourmet popcorn, mason jar salads, turkey-strawberry and brie sandwiches, deviled eggs and veggie chips, beer and wine and brownies. Yum!
Allan and I arrived in plenty of time to enjoy the breezy afternoon and listen to the younger musicians entertain the crowd.
I strolled over to the edge of the park to shoot all that is left of the old pier. Know my kids will be sad when I send this shot over to them.
View of the stage and growing crowd of people. Waiting for Bill and Diann to arrive.
The Orchestra begins so let's eat!


Bill, Diann, and I enjoying the music and the wine and beer!
The concert always ends with the 1812 Overture and fireworks! What could be better!
Got up early the next morning to frost my brownie bites for the picnic!
Two-week old baby Micah Cillian was able to join in for his first parish picnic. He slept his way through it!


Mom enjoying brownies and cookies! Pop Pop came too! As did Mary Jo and Joe.
Kids had a blast on this slide!
Cutest dog ever!
The grill guys! They made the yummiest hamburgers and hot dogs!
Corn hole was enjoyed by the family. Although nobody wants to play against Joe!
Another successful picnic and beautiful day enjoyed by many!
