easter monday at the dendrological garden

The family went to the Dendrological Garden at the municipality of Průhonice yesterday. Fortunately, this garden is only 8 kilometers away from our place. It can be 3 kilometers less if we use the highway, but we should have a sticker for that (which we didn’t have).

Little C chasing the ducks with M running after her.

The idea was to bring little C to a wide open space where she can run freely. With 73 hectares of land area, this garden was an ideal location for that purpose. In fact if you have little children, it’s a perfect place for the whole family to unwind. The kids can exercise their tiny muscles by exploring and running around the area or sweat it out in the playground near the entrance while the adults can sit in the bench or on the meadow watching the lovely panorama before them. That’s what we did. We basked under the sun on top of a hilly slope overlooking the magnificent view of the lake while our daughter was playing within our view range.

This shot was taken from our resting spot. Beautiful view, right?

But most of the time, little C loved exploring the bushes and what’s behind them.

Gathering woods… =)

There are also lots of quite and private spots for a family picnic, either in a grassy land, under the trees or beside a pond. What I love about this place is that bicycles and dogs aren’t allowed so you don’t have to worry about your children being hit by cyclists or stepping into poops.

Sitting by the pretty lake all day can be a good stress-reliever.
