Ben had a soccer game today so we all went to the park he was playing at. Grace and I decided not to stay and watch but to walk around the park instead. There was a botanical garden there so we went to walk around there and enjoy the park. Once we left the gardens we ended up in a different part of the park and I asked for directions from this old man at a rugby match. Well that was a mistake… he told us to go the complete opposite way we needed to go. ( if anyone is in Hagley park and sees an old man, beat him up, it really doesn’t need to be the same one, any will do)
Grace and I wandered around for almost another two hours looking for the soccer pitch we left Ben at. Finally we arrived back at the botanical gardens and were able to find our way back around. This short paragraph does not come close to explaining how frustrating it is to get lost in a park in the middle of a city.

Afterwards we went back to bens and played settlers about 5 to many times!!!

More later…
