to the park!

We took Ki-kun to Tommy Thompson park for a picnic and some fishing - it was the first time he truly felt that he was in another land. It was also the first time that he engaged in fishing that required that he cast from the shore rather than drop the line into the water from a boat. He picked it up in three goes.

It was blazingly hot, so we didn't stay long. But worth the ride.
