Today was a special day for the boys.
The weather was nice and warm, so after breakfast and a pit stop, both kids were dressed into comfy and sturdy clothes and then the family headed off to the big park near them.
Kurai opted for some jersey overalls and an adorable striped shirt, while Sascha went for a cool dinosaur shirt and Jeans.
And of course their respective plushies, the white tiger Minoru and the long-tailed lynx Sammy had to come as well.
After about a half an hour trip in the car, they arrived at the park and headed off.
A lot to explore and stroll around, take in the nature and the fountains and whatever boring stuff the grown-ups find interesting.
For Sascha and his brother Kuraiko however, the best thing about the park was the huge playground in the middle of it.
Much larger than the playground near their house and stuffed full with slides, swings, seesaws, sandboxes and cubby-houses and with a colorful and soft ground to break any falls and tumbles that might happen.
But before the kids and their plushie friends could head off, they got called back by their step-parents.
"One moment..." their mum said, smiling at the boys "... let's take a cute photo for our family album, okay?"
"Can we go after the photo?" the little bearkitty asked, slightly impatient and just wanted to play.
"Of course you little rascals, of course..." laughed their dad, holding up his cellphone. "Just this little picture to make us happy, okay?"
"Aww, alright..."
Placing their plushies on the ground right next to them, Sascha and Kurai struck a pose. Leaning into each other, sweetly holding hands and waving, they smiled at the camera.
"Here comes the birdie!"
The second the picture was taken however, they just snatched up their plushie companions and ran off towards the biggest and steepest slide on the playground, still holding hands firmly and squealing happily.

A wonderful and sweet picture, that I got from  javierkopaloboso20
I wanted an adorable picture of myself and my brother Kuraiko with our cubsonas striking a cute pose for a picture for a long time... and he pulled it off perfectly.
The pose is so sweet and dynamic, the plushies are looking super happy as well and the clothes are just gorgeous.
Thank you so much, it's really awesome!
