APDG ~ June Picnic Challenge

Hi! I am so glad the weather is beautiful today for our APDG ~ June Picnic Challenge ;-) My contributions to the picnic are:
MEMORIES, Reminiscing & keeping up family traditions ;-)
IN THE TRADITION OF MY GRAND DADDY I WILL BRING HIS GIANT GALVANIZED TUB (That I still have ;-) FULL OF ASSORTED BOTTLES OF SOFT DRINKS! ;-) He did this for our large family reunion at the LAKE every June! When I was little he would load me and everything in the back of his truck (Early in the morning) and we would go to the Icehouse to get huge blocks of ICE in the tub;-) Then we would go to the Pavilion Early. He would chip the ice up & I would put the drinks in ;-) It was so cold to your hands to pull one out of that ice water at the end of the day! There were always plenty for everyone too, 2 or 3 ;-)
And when I got older I always brought a favorite ;-) The punch bowl cake! I would divide the BUTTER cakemix into 3 pans & bake.
Open all cans & SEPARATE out 10 pretty strawberry Halves for decorative topping ;-) In the puncbowl layer;
1.) 3/4 can of Strawberry pie filling in the bottom
2.) 1/2 of a Large COOL WHIP
3.) CAKE
4.) 1 can of Blueberry pie filling
5.) 1/2 of a Large COOL WHIP
6.) CAKE
7.) 1 1/4 cans of Strawberry pie filling
8.) 1/2 of a Large COOL WHIP
9.) CAKE
10.) 1 can of Blueberry pie filling
11.) 1/2 of a Large COOL WHIP
12.) Strawberries & Chopped Pecans topping ;-P
Enjoy my PICNIC Memories! ;-) I have already had 2 picnics this year!!! I hope you have many nice ones too ;-) Blessings, cc

Love it, CC!

Hello, Happy June Picnic to you!

My very favorite picnic memories were all on the river:

But the hammock we had for a little while was great fun too:

I'll save bonus pictures for when your other partner posts, if you'd like any!

And I'm very sorry, I spaced. I pulled up images for everyone on this ages ago, and forgot to save where they'd originated from. I hope you enjoy anyhow!
