This morning the
Cleveland Jumping Fleas had their very first picnic -- the aptly named Pickin' Picnic in the Park. We met at the
Harriet Keeler Memorial Picnic Area in the
Metroparks' Brecksville Reservation. The picnic was scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m., but one of our members kindly agreed to go extra early and save a few tables for our group. It's a good thing he did, because as he was waiting for more Fleas to arrive, another group showed up and began to decorate the pavilion for a different event. It turned out they were expecting a big group -- but there was plenty of room for us, too.
A whole bunch of Fleas arrived bearing large quantities of food and coffee, of which we happily partook. After the meal we played our ukes for a considerable time -- and what a wonderful time it was! Sal, of course, had to be included in such a festive ukulele event. See if you can find her in this picture of all the Fleas with their ukes.
After a couple of pictures were taken, our photographer asked us to pose for a "silly" shot, which we did.
As you can see, a good time was had by all -- and I think I can safely predict that there will be more al fresco events in the Fleas' future.
