Family Day at Moon Lake on Sunday
My wife has just finished her title examination of semi-senior accountant on10th September. So, she wanted to go out to relax. She made a call to Juan who was her college classmate, making a date with her on Sunday (17th Sep.). they were going to visit Moon Lake in Songjiang District that is very close to She Shan mountain with their families. When she told me this date, I thought that it was a good idea because I could also visit my friends in Songjiang before Sunday. Then I made a couple of call…
On the last Saturday morning, I drove to a nearby vineyard named Xiao Li Zi organic vineyards after taking my daughter to her dance training classroom. I need to prepare some grapes as gift. At about 10:30am, we started off after I picked up my daughter, Chuchu, and my wife, Rong. We reached Sandy’s home after 2 hours. another two friends, Shen and Huang with his family were already there. Huang has two daughters, one is 5-year-old and anther one is just 2 months. Sandy has a baby 9 months ago. There is a small children playground in her home. We played cards and chatted together during the whole afternoon and the children played on the small playground by themselves.
After dinner, my family and I stayed, and other people went home.
On Sunday morning, we said goodbye to Sandy and went to Juan’s apartment. After 30 minutes, we picked up Juan and her son, about 6-year-old. Juan had prepared a lot of food and drinking. It was about 11:00am when we arrived at the Moon Lake. There is a man-made lake and an artificial beach and a vast grassland. People, children and dogs, all over the place. everything looks great and comfortable. I put up the tent with my wife. Children and Juan played on the beach. I spent the whole afternoon on laying in the tent. We finished the whole trip about 6:00pm and went back to home.
It was a good time for me and my family. We were very enjoyed it.
