Trip around the lake

Not too long ago, I suggested my sister that we take a walk after dinner. She was pretty reluctant at first but then she agreed.

I remembered a lake not far from where we live that we used to go to almsot weekly when we were kids. My mom would give us leftover bread from the restaurant and we would go with our grandparents and feed the ducks. For some reason I haven't been there in more than a decade, so I suggested we go there.









As the female swan and cygmets changed direction, the swan father rose up from the water and came towards us. Now, it's not very clear in the pictures and seeing swans in the water they look so regularsized. But trust me when I say that this swan was HUGE!!!

We kept walking and to our surprise saw a wall we'd never seen before. We call it the surprised wall :)



I might not be a teenager but I'm still young at heart. :) My sister snapped these pictures of me doing hopscotch!

On our way back, we found a line swing (sorry don't know the actual name) and of course we had to try it.

Weeeeee!!!


It was a lovely walk and it makes me want to take more walks in our area to explore som more :) I love it when I find something new.
