Rainy in Xinzhuang Park(莘庄公园)

Mummy had been waiting to visit this park for a long time now. All mummy waited is the "梅花" to be blossomed where it only happened once a year i.e. in Feb month. Since Japan is famous for its "樱花" surely China is famous for the "梅花". There has been a whole week of rain here and mummy thought that there was no hope to view it this year. Today woke up saw the floor was dried, immediately the idea popped up wanting to see" 梅花". We quickly ate our breakfast and changed our dress and headed to our destination.

We can only start our journey at 9.00am and according to our driver it was small rain in the Puxi. Well, our heart sank half way. Mummy told daddy if the rain is too heavy then we just give up the trip. Well, when we arrived that time, the rain is a bit and still manageable without holding umbrella. We were quite disappointed with the flowers because the flowers are not so full in the tree. All due to the rain making most of the flowers fell down on the floor. What a waste, guessed if not because of rain, the park will be full of "梅花".



Ethan was running all around the park, very difficult to chase him and we always stand at one point then Ethan can walk back to find us. Of course, our eye still keep on chasing on him. We have difficulty to take Ethan's photo with the flowers, he was always moving his body and we don't have to good camera to capture his fast movement.




Ethan did fall down when he tried to catch his father's leg but his father just move away without rescuing him. Luckily the floor was soft and muddy. His glove, winter coat all became dirty after his fall. Inside the park there was a small pond for the visitor to row the boat. Ethan was attracted by the carton design of the boats.







The rain was getting bigger and we opt to end our journey in the park as no point to continue since we knew the rain will not stop.
