Went all together, both vehicles, to Lena. I drove the van, Stanley the saxo. The kids, all six of them, had a lot of fun at the park near her building - with all the swings, seesaws, tobbogans etc. Api had one of those trumpet collars, because the thumbs on his forelegs were freshly amputated and he shouldn't be chewing on the wounds until they fully heal.

Violet acquired the best friend forever for the day, one girl who asked "mom, why does this girl have slanted eyes?" when she saw her on adjacent swing, and then quickly went into close communication. Even made some drawing and gave it as a present.

Went to Talija again, the smallest and least fancy splav on Sava, where the menu is very short but everything on it is good. Had the beans, as is the saturday special. Raja was running around doing his comics, Api was mostly lying under the table (Milan walked in a bit later, they went on foot while we drove, but it's not really far, perhaps 20 min walk). The somewhat cloudy weather made for surprisingly good light, so we all made lots of good photos (though Go didn't even bring her Canon for the trip, finding the phone just as good and much handier). The beans were excellent, and the twins just made a show of trying to use spoons. But they also loved it.

On the way back I think it was Violet who wanted to be in the saxo with Anita and Neša with Raja, or was it some other combination, which didn't work. Somewhere halfway out of town we had to park and swap children - Anita and Neša had to switch vehicles.
