Carnival at Parque Juan Carlos

Saturday April 18 we had plans to meet with some friends at a park in Madrid.  In our emails back and forth, we got mixed up on which park it was.  When we got to the Parque Juan Carlos and the proposed meeting spot, Paul called them and found out that they were at a different park.  Because of timing and money, we decided to just stay where we were and meet up with them again another day.  We were lucky to find that at Juan Carlos there was a fun carnival going on!

Glenn got to play with a parachute and draw a picture of his family.

 

 He also got to play with bubbles

and paint a picture.

 He also got to race and play in the grass.

 And they had giant games for us to play too--Jenga and Pick up Sticks.

 Parque Juan Carlos has some really funny structures.

 Glenn made a lady friend...

 After the carnival had mostly ended, we played on the playgrounds nearby.

 And we ended the day, after eating our lunch, by rolling down the long hill.

 I had been sitting and relaxing, when Glenn wanted me to roll down too.

 It has been a long time since I rolled down a hill...and it was fun, and not so fun at the same time.  Once I got going, I couldn't stop myself.  I went clear to the bottom and my head was spinning still.  I must be getting older or something. :D

 Glenn and Paul tried to roll together...it sort of worked...

 We were sad to not spend time with our friends, but we were happy with the day we had.

Parque Juan Carlos is a beautiful park and we had a great time!
