Synopsis
The Pig Family go on a Picnic; but first they must figure out how to cross the lake before them. They are joined by Grampy Rabbit and the Wolfs.
Summary
The Pig Family reach a large river and meet up with Grampy Rabbit after they ring a bell to summon the boat. He arrives and explains to them that due to how small it is, he can't take everything at once. Mummy, Peppa, and George hop onto the boat and he offers to come back for Daddy and the picnic. On the way over, Peppa and Grampy Rabbit sing a song.
A moment later, Grampy Rabbit returns to pick up Daddy Pig, who has been joined by the Wolf Family. As it turns out they have also come for a picnic, so then he does the same thing; he grabs Wendy and her Mummy and leads them to the other side, where Peppa, George, and Mummy Pig await.
With that the two daddies are left on the side of the river, waiting for him with their picnics. When Grampy returns he points out that he only has enough room for one of them at a time, since they're much bigger, like he is. Daddy Pig suggests that Grampy Rabbit waits there, so that he and Daddy Wolf can drop off the picnic - but as it turns out there isn't enoug hroom for it.
As they cross, Daddy Wolf mentions how hungry he is, causing Daddy Pig to express concern until they arrive; only to realize he forgot the picnic. He drops off Daddy Wolf and quickly rows back to get it, but instead of grabbing the food and Grampy Rabbit, he hops out, allowing Grampy Rabbit to row back to the others with the picnic in the boat. He promises to return, but the others ask that he joins their picnic by offering him some cheese.
A while passes as Daddy Pig waits. He is momentarily joined by the ducks, who, instead of waiting decide to swim across the lake. Daddy Pig tries to ring the bell to get their attention, but nobody seems to notice him until Peppa recalls how much Daddy Pig likes to eat Cake.
By the time Grampy Rabbit returns to him up and return back, he learns all of the food is gone; save for a few scraps and pieces that everyone left for him. Including a bit of jelly, a strawberry, a bite of sandwich, and a worm - which the Duck offered. As they reveal the cake has already been eaten, Daddy Pig thanks them for their kindness anyway and everyone starts to laugh.
