Squinting into the afternoon sun, we witnessed the light bouncing off hundreds of parked cars in the field before us. After three hours outside at the Poing Nature Park, we were ready for a nap -- all four of us. Because of Sophia's incessant chattering in the backseat, only Jackson managed to knock off for a bit. I attempted to read a backlog of magazines which I only ever get to browse when we go on car trips, it seems.
The Nature Park was FILLED with (I would venture to guess) 1,000 sun-starved families. The kids enjoyed feeding the donkeys, the ultimate goal at the end of the park. By the time they had emptied their paper bags of grain, they were ready to seek the shelter of their car seats. Me too!
Andreas is cooking something delightul as I type this. We never did have lunch!
