This time, a few pictures of my daughters during our play day in Quanzhou’s East Lake park.

The park has quite a few features–including one of those small Chinese Zoos filled with bored (at least) or miserable (at worst) animals; we’ll skip the pictures we took there–but otherwise it’s a pleasant place to spend a morning or afternoon.

It was only very sparsely populated during our visit–on a weekday–so we could take the sights in without having to go elbow to elbow with any sprawling weekend crowds.

On to the pics….

Younger Daughter enjoying the same–she decided, based on its color, that the horse’s name must be ‘Ginger’, being the astute and devoted “Black Beauty” fan that she is:
