Saturday was a perfect day for any outdoor activity. The weatherman predicted a cloudless clear sky with 70F as the expected high temperature of the day. We decided to go for an outing in Gallup Park to test out Ashwini’s backpack carrier. Both V and I took turns carrying Ashwini and the carrier seems to work very well. It has enough support for Ashwini and the backpack frame is nicely designed to make it comfortable for the parent. The three mile walk was quite enjoyable and we didn’t even break a sweat. There were lots of swans, geese and ducks in the Huron river that kept Ashwini interested in the walk.

Almost towards the end of it we took a break in the ‘Butterfly garden’ to eat lunch. It was jelly sandwiches, crackers and water. How can I forget blueberries? It seems like Ashwini is always eating blueberries. She just loves them and now she knows to ask for them by name, which starts with a ‘b’ and followed by a sound that I can’t reproduce.

Ashwini enjoyed the morning in the park a lot and was fast asleep on the way home.
