They were so sweet to them and great about making sure that the little ones won’t get in trouble. The nice thing about yesterday was that one of my friends’ two boys were much older, 10 and 13 years old, and they were wonderful about playing with our little ones. My friends brought some toys, so the kids played by kicking a soccer ball, playing with a bat and a soft ball (a spongy ball), with toys, with each other, and so forth and otherwise, they were just running around chasing each other. There was no playground, but I thought it was actually better for the kids and easier for us parents to keep track of our kids. We were there with small children, but we didn’t feel unsafe to be there. Having the water right next to the picnic area was quite refreshing. At this Belle Haven Park, there are two areas to it a marina and picnic area. It ended up being quite a spread and we definitely had more than we could eat. We got some pizzas and also brought some food to share. She made a Lego birthday cake for him and we celebrated his birthday with the cake. It just happened that yesterday, Saturday, was one of my friends’ son’s 7th birthday. It was a bit too early for eating, but if you recall my previous post about her eating problems I was just happy to know that she had an appetite. I microwaved some and packed some yaki onigiri in a Tupperware. They are our favorite snacks from Trader Joe’s. We could’ve not picked a better day for a picnic.Īs soon as we got to the picnic site and set up a table with our friends, our younger daughter asked for a yaki onigiri (baked rice snacks). It was a gorgeous day with nice breeze and warm sun. We met our friends at Belle Haven Park, just south of Alexandria along the George Washington Memorial Parkway yesterday. We started off our weekend with a picnic. Picnic, soccer game at the RFK Stadium, and 3 birthday parties were all crammed in one weekend.
