Last weekend, we decided to take the kids out for some fresh air and exercise. Although it was still rather the cool, it was not raining so we decided to make the best of it. We drove to the town of Bury St. Edmunds for a day at the park.
Bury was once called "a handsome little town" by a frequent visitor, Charles Dickens. In the middle of town stands the remains of an old monastery built in 1020AD. The church in the photo below is St Mary's church, which was built in the 15th century and where Mary Tudor, sister of Henry VIII is buried. A park is built around the remains and the church. Although very old and historic, the kids are welcome to run and climb among the ruins. Our kids loved it!

The kids climbed among the ruins, ran around and had a great time. Sarah enjoyed feeding (and chasing) the ducks. The kids asked me to take the final picture and send it to their Memaw. They thought it looked like a giant chicken and teapot. It was a fun day at a very unique park.
