Year 4 – Week 5 – Day 2

I didn’t know I had big plans when I woke up this morning. Yesterday, I saw a picture on a friend’s facebook wall of a cool slide and decided that I had to take the boys there someday. Then someday turned in to today! We drove about 35 miles to get to this park, but it was worth it. The road trip part is fun too.

Brendan found a gila monster in the park!

It is a slide! This sculpture/slide was done so well, I love it. The boys loved it too!

A concrete tube full of sand is very entertaining

Other than the giant gila monster, this place had the U.S.A.’s largest sundial. (not that impressive to me, I didn’t even take a picture) It also was a big district full of shops and restaurants. I think Gramma would have loved it.
We walked around a while and found a second playground.

It was a great morning and it gave Bill time to put up Christmas lights on the house and do laundry today!
