Picnic

We just came back from the picnic in the woods! Yoo-hoo that was a nice outing!

Daniel came out with this idea few days ago, as today is the labour's day, so we the family of four, went to join the crowd.

We hit the road at around 12:30pm, it took us about 10 mintues to arrive the destination. When we arrived the area, it was so jam-packed! The Romanian do enjoy picnic and picnic seems to be top outing activity for the families in the holidays, in spring and summer, of course. Searching for a parking and a perfect shady place were no easy job.




Finally, we found a nice place, less people, less pollution and was in the woods!


Under the shady grass, blue sky, white clouds... hmmm perfect!


"OK, start to work now!"


"Ahhhh... so nice! This time got my hubby taken in the pic!"



"Oh, the little bug also wants to join us!"


We decided to explore the woods. There was a way leading us into the mysterious woods. Surrounded by the tall trees, we exposed ourselves in chilly winds and unseen animals. It wasn't spookey anyway, also the air was really refreshing! In fact, I quite liked it!


Spent about 15 minutes of walk in the woods, then we came out safe and sound. To my horror, I felt some tiny raindrops on my face! Darn!

"I thought you told me about the weather report for today was sunny!? Today is the only sunny day in this week! Right?" I exclaimed with a little confusion and disappointment.

"Uh...yeah, but I dunno why it rains. Maybe the weather forecast was wrong. Oh maybe the aeroplane is spraying the mosquito repellent, might not be the rain..." Daniel replied.

"Hopefully!" I said. But in my heart I knew it was raining.

"Oh God, please don't ruin the outing and my mood." I prayed.

We walked to the parents, they were preparing the grill tools and going to start the grill at any time. While waiting for the food, the raindrops began larger and larger, so did my eyes! Looking at the rain, my heart broke into pieces...

"No... it will stop, can't treat us like that!"

"Well, if it really rains heavily then we finish the mici and go back home OK?" Daniel said.

"Whatever...OK." I replied with a big disappointment.

To my surprise, the rain only carried on for 10 minutes and stopped. The sun appeared again and starting to shine to its best!

"YAY!!" My mood was back!

"Food are ready! Let's see what are the specialities for today..."
"The mici !! One of my favourtie food!"

"And the grilled chicken drumsticks!" *Drooling*

The chefs behind the finger-licking food.


After savoured everything, we rested for a while. Lying down on the grass, relaxing a little bit. It was 4:30pm, the place was getting crowded and noisier (many children playing), we decided to pack everything and continue to hit our next destination - the zoo.
