A day at the park

I tried to rotate this picture. Sorry! Anyway, I love the huge leaves vining around this tree! The benches are so neat too. They're actually made of concrete but they look like they're wood- kind of cottage style. It's neat!
We walked across the bridge to see the beach that we like to go to so much. I love the view behind us. I've never gotten used to seeing how beautiful Old San Juan is from that view.
After a long walk around the very large park we stopped under what Rebekah called her "princess tower" and ate oranges. Isaiah is such a pro at peeling them! Everyone goes to him for help and he's always glad to give it!

We went to a park connecting to the beach called Escombron today. It is such a beautiful park. I've been there only a couple of times and I really wanted to go back with my camera before we have to leave. It was such a nice morning. The kids had lots of fun making new friends and just being able to run around. Christine and I enjoyed the serenity of it all. It really is so pretty. I learned today that it used to be an old fort. It was built in the 1700's and PR decided to make it into a park. So some of the fort still exists and they use portions of the areas for different activities. They also used some of the orignial structures to make interesting play things for the kids. It's really neat.
