For lunch after the Japanese garden we grabbed some drive-through teriyaki bowls (first time we’d seen that as a drive-through option), and went to a nearby city park in Phoenix, Encanto Park.

We found a picnic bench with a view of a stream and a party on an island:

Our teriyaki bowls and spring rolls for lunch:

A palm tree:

We noticed some pedal boats going by along the stream, and thought that looked like a fun thing to do:

So we did; we rented a pedal boat:

We got some duck food from the rental kiosk, so we had fun feeding and watching them:

Birds:

More ducks:

The park is next to a golf course, so of course there are a bunch of golf balls on the nearby island:

Birds sunning themselves:

Another selfie from the boat; yes, we’re trying to do more of them; we haven’t historically had a lot of pictures of us together:

Hey look, more ducks:

Another couple of pedal boats:

One more selfie:
