Our Urban Picnic!






People constantly stop the girls to take pictures with them...so I took a picture this time as well. Ash was being a good sport and throwing their infamous peace sign, but I missed it...


Ash wanted to take one of us.



Little cuties!


Pictures of the urban picnic...


Alright, so this weekend we decided to go have a family picnic; and we figured that the best place for this was one of the parks we've been going to, to play at. Besides, the girls wanted to show it to their dad so he can see one of the places we frequent while he is at work. This place is amazing. It is built on the old British Garrison and has been completely converted for the public. The play area has five different levels of playgrounds, there's an avairy, a pond, a museum and a resturant along with miles of walkways, tons of benches and beautiful landscape. What it doesn't have is grass. There are a couple patches of it, but they are completely fenced off and you are not allowed to touch it. So we threw our blanket down in a benched cement alcove and had a fabulous picnic. Unfortunately, it was interrupted by some rude, non-English speaking guards who insisted we get up before we were finished (they wouldn't leave until we got up and left). From what we could gather...you are allowed to sit on the benches and eat, but you are not allowed to eat on the ground in front of them...I don't know. But we did have a great day of exploring and I have included some of the pictures of our adventure.
