It wasn't the best day yesterday, it was a bit cloudy but we make the most of our Sunday spending it with family. The kids wake up early as they want to go to the Big Market at Nutts Corner. So off we go.
As soon as we reach the market, haven't even park yet, Tia spotted the ice cream van. And shouted, "I would love an ice cream, I think." Hahaha, Jigz laughs at her. Just like what we thought, she only come here to eat. But surely I'm the same as I only used to come here so I can eat the chicken curry and rice that I say is the best one I've ever tasted in town. I keep coming back for that aside from buying seafood.
And her wish come true, she had her ice cream with Jigz. I don't want one because it's freezing here. I don't even understand how can they eat it in this weather.
So while I'm waiting here with Tia eating her ice cream the two boys are already looking around the stalls. After she finishes her ice cream, it's Mommy's turn to have her chicken curry. Lol seriously, we are only here for the food. I and Tia have a mutual understanding.
So while I'm having curry Tia spotted a doughnut and she said she wants one too. So here she is eating her second treat!
After we get them what they want which are "pokemon cards" for Jigz and a Velvet Colouring Pad for both of them we head back home. But we only went home to use the toilet and get a coat. I didn't know that the husband has already a plan on his mind.
After getting back to the car with our coat, he drive-through McDonalds and order food. Lol, he didn't know that all we did was eat at the market!
The kids got their Happy Meal and just after the toys in it. Then to my surprise, he took us to the Scrabo. He said we are going to eat the food here. And I guess we're going to walk into the woods again.
Look at the view! It's a perfect place to have a picnic up here!
They were so excited that we will walk up the Scrabo Tower. We didn't go to the woods this time. We're just starting but I'm already running out of breath. Lol, I told my husband to just push me up. And he did. He is just laughing.
Many people are walking at that time. Most of them are walking their dogs. I saw a family is picking up some blackberries to make jam perhaps.
They were laughing when they heard Tia asks, "Are we going up more coz my feet are getting tired." Hahaha.
And here we are finally getting there at the Scrabo Tower. It's close this time of the year and hasn't been open to the public since the pandemic. When it's open you can climb up to the top and see a far better view of Ards.
The best part here is the old couple enjoying, laughing at each other and teasing each other. I was smiling while looking at them.
And the view up here is breathtaking. You can see Island Hill in front, the Strangford Lough, Comber and the whole Ards.
And it's gonna be holding hands while walking down. This is much easier than going up.
I hope the photos put a smile on your face. And somehow you enjoy the walk to the Scrabo with us even it's virtually.
Thank you for reading.
It is very nice to see the children happy and eating their treats. Those pictures of the landscape are beautiful. I would say it is a very productive day for healing the soul.
