To be honest, I wasn't quite sure how this outing would go. I knew Bijou would enjoy it just as much as she had when she was four. However, I wasn't sure if the boys would obey the bamboo fencing around the ponds or God forbid, end up taking a dip in the koi pond. Luckily, it was a success with minimal attempts by Eero (the rebel of the group) to duck under the fence and do exactly that, dip into the koi pond.
The biggest highlight was the tea party with REAL tea, almond cookies, Japanese cracker snack mix and chocolate-covered Pocky sticks.
On the walk from the car to the tea garden, Bijou and Stella stopped to collect some daisies to make a couple daisy chain necklaces, a childhood requisite.
Climbing the drum bridge was another highlight and was probably responsible for rewarding us with a car nap on the ride home ;)
