Picnic at Upper Pierce Reservoir
Posted by Jaime under Family, Bon Appetit, Talia Ann
One of our Saturday morning ritual is to go veg out at Upper Pierce Reservoir, bring the Saturday papers, get ourselves a drink and spend the entire morning there. We love the calm quietness of the waters and the nice morning breeze and last Saturday morning, bb philson and bb megan came along with their parents with us for a picnic there.
What could be more important than food at a picnic? The babies had a chicken, egg yolk and cheese sandwich to start it off.

That’s philson chomping the last of his sandwich!

and that’s the girl with the last bits of egg yoke on her lips.

then the girl had strawberries!

and a pack of barley drink!

oooh! what a lot of food they had!
but our little Miss Megan wasn’t interested in any of those! she only wanted the fried bee hoon!

And she wasn’t interested to stick her butt on the mat as well! Both Philson and Talia were sticking very close to the mat as all the food was there but it was more than a few times I could hear Calynn going…WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER? She barely had time to gobble down one sandwich before dashing after her daughter herself! AHH! what bliss for Dee and Me! We almost didn’t leave the mat at all as we were just stuck on the mat whacking all the food!
Well, we had sandwiches with ham & tuna & lettuce & tomatoes & cheese, fried bee hoon, salad, grapes and glorious strawberries!

That’s my sandwich!

After the food, the babies alternated between chasing bubbles, or watching the fishes and prawns in the reservoirs. Strangely there were no monkeys found near us that morning. After running all over the place, it’s time for a nap. Mine didn’t need much persuasion, just a few little pats on her fat little thighs and a slave fanning her with a paper plate, she fell asleep. Philson needed a bit more work, his daddy had to carry him for a while before putting him down on the mat as well!

ahh! our little Miss Megan must have aircon, so her parents have to go take a spin with her in the car before she fell asleep!
Mine slept the longest for about 1hr! When the kiddos woke up, off we packed and dashed off for our lunch at the Casuarina Roti Prata shop! OH yes! We could still eat after all those food! *beams*
and the kiddos all had their porridge lunches too! What a fun and fulfilling morning!
This dee smsed me the next day and asked me when are we doing this again! As her boy went back and slept the entire afternoon and slept early that night too! *beams again*

What a lovely outing you guys had
The waether must be very nice that the little fell asleep there.
Hope I can plan one soon, my kids have been complaining that we haven’t had a picnic for a long time.
