I just had to share, I wish I would have bought this years ago! I just bought a JJ cole outdoor blanket, and this thing is amazing! Folds up nice and small, easy to fold, it has a little cush to it, and dirt, sand etc falls right off of it! My "Mom tribe" hits the park for picnic lunches at least weekly and often 2-3 times a week in the summer and this blanket has been worth its weight in gold! One of the Moms had one and most have us have run out and grabbed one for ourselves after seeing how well it works! http://jjcolecollections.com/outdoor-blanket
