family picnic
Relatives eating outside
A family picnic is an outdoor meal shared by family members, typically in a park or natural setting.
The occasion suggests relaxed togetherness—blankets on grass, packed lunches, casual conversation.
Extended family gatherings often take this form: The annual family picnic draws cousins from three states.
The phrase can also describe any situation perceived as easy or pleasant, usually in the negative: Raising teenagers is no family picnic.
