Afternoon/Evening at the Gardens...

We went for an afternoon at the Hamilton Gardens including picnic dinner. I had been told that the roses were looking really nice and so we decided to go take some photos/kids play and have dinner while we were there. Didn't really get many nice photos as the sun was still way to high in the sky (a downside of daylight saving), so I could only try to take ones of those in the shade, which was limited. Ben and Joanna had lots of fun playing cricket and with the play equipment (see-saw, swings, slippery slide). We had sushi for dinner (that Peter had made during rest time in the afternoon). As we were preparing to leave (well literally putting everything in the car), we heard some drumming start, and I convinced Peter that we should go see what it was. It was a Japanese drumming group of about 10-15 playing a end of year informal concert. So we sat down to watch/listen for a bit and ended up staying for 40min or so. It was really nice weather and the drumming was pretty cool. Ben really enjoyed it too!
