  I also took my son with me together, we walked on the path besides the lake, sat beside and lake, enjoyed all the view there, watched the birds and felt the wind. We were all very happy and enjoyed all of them. We also brought some foods there and enjoyed them together. The best thing was we played the soccer together, so much excited  and had fun there.
