Goddard Picnics

My uncle lived just outside of Wichita in a town called Goddard. We would often have company picnics out at his place. The place was huge, large inground swimming pool and fully landscaped backyard of around three acres. Included was a cabana house that the adults usually hung out in. The cousins and I made our way to the new trash cans full of ice and soda. It was like a dream come true, all the soda you could ever want right there in a stainless steel trash can smothered in ice. The place reminded me of the zoo with all the plants and everything. We spent alot of the time there indoors downstairs in the game room playing coleco vision I think. I can remember going by my aunts kennel down there and also the stench of doggie doo... Good times. Ah... engrams.
