For Family Home Evening last night we had a picnic at Greenwich park. Cameron has been asking to go play football at a park every day since we moved here. Our first football got kicked over the wall on our 20th floor apartment. But that story another time... So we finally replaced it with a new football and the kids were excited to use it.
Yesterday I took the kids to the Lewisham Library. I took pictures at the library and of the Lewisham market, but I didn't realize that I didn't have my memory card in. Boohoo! So we'll have to do that again next week. For Family Home Evening last night we had a picnic at Greenwich park. Cameron has been asking to go play football at a park every day since we moved here.

This is the Blackheath common. It's this huge expanse of land in the middle of the city. Some of it is lawn, but some of it is field like this. I'm grateful for it, don't get me wrong, but I'm surprised they haven't done anything with it. The English are all about preservation, so it's great that it hasn't been developed, but it's not exactly the lovely green park you'll find elsewhere. But maybe they like it that way. It's only about ten minutes from our house and it's a nice change of view. Simon perfected the "flop." Richard was giving Mim a hard time about dancing during the football game, but she said she wasn't dancing. She was being a helicopter. I was just experimenting with my camera and taking some action shots- which Eli found pretty impressive. And by that I mean he was impressed with his action, not my shots. It was a beautiful evening in the park and I'm looking forward to exploring more parts of it.

I don't think I have ever seen a park that beautiful. So many trees it looked like they all had a great time with do much area to pay in. What a great family home evening!
