Park Fun!

We love scouting out new parks, and recently, we found a GREAT one in Shakopee!  Lions Park is just behind Sand Venture pool, and it's brand new.  It's a shaded, smart park, full of 'different' kinds of things to do!  We met up with the Endres crew to play and have a lunch date.

The kids could get musical...

They could swing...

(And Carson kept saying "I'm fwy-een")

They figured out lots of friends could ride and be goofy together...

Cooper loved the rope swing...

Carson loved every second of climbing!

The very next day, we had a family adventure day and found another great park!  We went exploring to Minnehaha Park.  The whole family this time!

Wabun Park was actually a little similar to Lion's Park in Shakopee in that it had lots of fun 'smart' things to play.

Tough little Izzy was excited to do some rope climbing.

Carson got some time to snuggle up with dad in the shade after our picnic.

After a hot hike, we made it to the falls!  It was a fun surprise for the kids.  Cooper was not impressed with all the stairs to get to the top, though :)

This is their, "We're so hot.  We're so tired!" pose.  Note how Izzy looks more ticked than tired :)

Wabun Park has a wading pool that was the perfect 'treat' to cool off.

Carson never quite knows how to react when I whine back to him...

Mr. Muscles says he's been, "Eating his crust."  Kris, our daycare provider, has been convincing Cooper that crust makes him big and strong.

Bombs away!

Best of friends!

They had a FUN time!  It was a really, really fun adventure!

On the way home, we stopped for a cold treat.  The kids loved Cherry Berry.  It's so fun to see how differently they choose their toppings!

And Izzy... oh Izzy.  She had to drink every. last. drop.
