Parking a lot

Wendy's parents came into town for a few hours on Saturday.  Wendy's dad wanted to do a picnic lunch at Pullen Park. So we grab lunch at Bojangles'.  Side note...have a senior citizen order the food.  So we grab the food and head to the park.  As we get closer Wendy notices all the cars on the side of street.  Spirits sink lower as we pass each car.  We pull into the parking lot.  No spaces available.  Some event was happening.  That is the second time we have gone on the same day as an event.  The first was some kind of shindig happening in the afternoon, so when we went most of the park was closed.

So after no place to park at the park, we decide to venture to another park.  This one is not that crowded.  Except the cover picnic area.  A group is having a party.  Fortunately, we find a picnic table and enjoy our lunch.  Joy was ready to wander around.

Joy does love being outside.  She seems to enjoy the park.  I am not quite what she enjoys most about park.  She will swing enough to get the phrase, "Out, out" out.  She slides a few times.  Mostly she enjoys walking from here to there.  And pointing out the babies and dogs.

So even though the day did not turn out like we had planned we still had our picnic in the park.
