Melbourne has suddenly become sunny and warm! With such beautiful spring weather, we decided to celebrate Father's Day this year with a picnic at the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. The girls were very excited, and helped me make some butterfly cupcakes. We packed them up with sandwiches and watermelon, loaded up the Kia, and set off.

We were lucky to find a parking spot quite close to Gate F, and walked down to a lovely shady area on the Oak Lawn where we set up next to a bed of daffodils. Plenty of other people had obviously woken up with the same idea, but it wasn't uncomfortably crowded.

Here are some shots of the family enjoying their lunch:

| This is fun! |
We took the obligatory photo of Daddy with his daughters ...

... then walked down to the Ornamental Lake to enjoy an icecream before heading home.

It's such a fun, cheap and easy way to enjoy quality family time. We're looking forward to a lot more picnics over the next few months.
