Picnic Day ^^

Last Sunday, my family and I went on a picnic. We chose to go to the Carss Park which is close to Blakehurst. I go up early and prepared our food which included noodles, sandwiches, salads, sushi and some drinks. Firstly, my husband drove there and parked close to the park. We found a good spot which was near the seaside. After that we placed our mat and unloaded the stuff. My kids rode bikes around there and played at the playground. An hour later we had lunch. Sushi is my kids favourite food. This time I cooked eel sushi and they ate a lot even though my husband won't tough it. He doesn't like it. We ate and talked happily. After that my boys played badminton while my husband and I took a walk. It was a beautiful day. I heard a lovely sound from the sea and saw seagulls were hunting their foods. When we went back my kids were playing soccer and we joined them. We had fun. We stayed there until 2:00pm and went back home. I had a lovely day and we all enjoyed it very much!!
