Finally waited for a weekend, Dad came to Chengdu from Wuwei hometown for a while, today with Dad to Lotus Lake barbecue, leave the hustle and bustle of the city, feel relaxed in the quiet nature. I have been to Lotus Lake before and have been attracted by the beautiful scenery, this time I must take my father to barbecue, let my father taste my barbecue technology. As soon as you arrive at Lotus Lake, fresh air comes to your face.
Lotus Lake
I bought a tent when I used to climb the mountain, just brought it over, set up a tent by the lake, the sun is big or tired can rest in it, lie in the tent and listen to the insects and birds, breathe the fresh air by the mountain lake, too comfortable.

Or tired lying in a hammock, rocking around, too comfortable. Dad has always been more hard, and rarely comes out to play, this time take him to a good rest.

We played by the lake for a while, hungry, began to prepare a barbecue, first roasted a roasted banana that I am best at and my favorite to eat, the taste is particularly good, very sweet, my dad is the first time to eat this roasted banana, he said it feels amazing, the taste is also very strange, he did not expect that bananas can also be roasted. After roasting the bananas, I roasted my father's favorite pork belly, and the roasted pork belly was full of oil and aroma. Coupled with the big chicken wings and ham sausage, it was just perfect, and in this spring season, it was not to mention how happy it was to have such a delicious barbecue with Dad.

After eating the barbecue a little thirsty, fortunately I had prepared earlier, brought me an outdoor cassette stove for hiking, just half a can of gas left, bought some fish balls, cooked a fish ball cabbage soup, too perfect, I think the soup cooked outside is much better than the soup cooked at home.

After eating, we were basking in the sun by the lake, blowing the wind, so pleasant, Dad deliberately rested in the tent, saying that he felt the feeling of sleeping in the tent, he could imagine how I slept at the top of the mountain when I climbed the mountain. I told him it wasn't so comfortable, I was a few degrees below zero at the top of the mountain, and once I woke up in the morning, the zippers of the tent were frozen and couldn't be opened. My dad listened and said that he still wanted to go hiking with me, so forget it.

Point the way
After the break, take a photo with my father, every time I come out to play, I have to take a photo with my father, my father stays in his hometown for a long time, he can't often meet with us, I often take a lot of photos with him, and then print them into photos, make a photo album, and put them in my hometown. That way he can look when he's bored, or when he thinks about us.
Me and Dad
Today, I also took my father on a cruise ship, because our hometown is in Wuwei, relying on the Tengger Desert, with drought and little rain all year round, and there are few rivers and lakes. Dad has not taken a boat, today took him on a cruise, walked through lotus lake, Dad was particularly happy, at first felt a little dizzy, slowly just fine, after coming down, Dad was particularly happy, said to take a photo with the cruise ship. I took this picture for him, and then I saw dad's beer belly. Dad used to be very thin, and in recent years we didn't let him get too busy, started to enjoy life, and slowly had a beer belly.

Seeing that there were people fishing by the lake, my father quietly told me that he also wanted to fish in the future, and he looked very leisurely and handsome. So I went to the big brother who was fishing, asked him to teach my dad, let my dad feel it too, so there was this photo of my dad fishing. Isn't it handsome.

Played with dad for a day, so happy, looking at the smile on dad's face, I think today is particularly meaningful. In the future, when you have time, you must spend more time with your father.
