ChaoYang Park Adventure

We had a great time last Saturday with our friends, spening time at the biggest park in Asia - ChaoYang Park! It was a beautiful day, and so much fun to walk around and see all the festivities!

We saw kites being flown, and plan on getting one of our own soon to try, enjoyed the giant blow-up water toys they had, checked out a bunch of rollercoasters, rented fun boats and went on the river, checked out the fishing pond they had (a highlight for Cash), played a dart game to pop balloons and win stuffed animals, ate some yummy popcorn and popsicles, also some noodles straight from the street vendors, checked out the squid on a stick (don't think I will be trying that though ever), laughed at the split pants kids - and some day i will get a good picture of one of them, and just had so much fun with our friends! A great way to spend the day!

A fake Mickey Mouse at the gate - Cash ran right up to give him a hug!

Happy to walk around on his leash - he wanted to run wild all over the park!


The fun toys on the water - altho spendy, and making Chip a little sick, worth the 10 minutes of memories! Cash was a little small to really enjoy it too, so 10 minutes was plenty!


Chip and Cash rolling around!

Say "cheese"

the gang walking after lunch - Cash was sharing his popcorn with everyone!


Rian and Sid and family on their boat - ours was the same but blue! Super fun to get out on the river!

Cash wanted a turn on this as we were leaving - just marched up and took it from that girl!

The entrance to the park - as we were getting ready to leave!
