Summer Park Tour: Park Five

So our summer park tour continues with the park at the Marion Wave Pool.  I am really enjoying our time at the parks.  How could I not.  The girls love it and even though there are parks that I don't think are as good as others, the girls love them all.  At some point I intent to ask them which park they like the best.  My money is on this park.  Drea loves it.  Whenever, I give them the choice of parks she always says Wavetech.  Here are the pictures from our trip.

This park is broken into two sections, my only complaint is Drea will want to be in one section while Charlotte wants to be in the other.  At least there is plenty of places to play.

Drea is such the monkey.  She loves the monkey bars and the rings.

I don't know what this thing is, but both girls had a great time on it.

I think this is why Drea likes this park so much.  She loves the sand.  We always build a sand castle when we are here

Just a close up of my favorite 3 year old in the world

Any good park has to have swings

I just love how cute she looks in all of these pictures

Of course Drea climbing

I should note that Drea is my favorite 6 year old in the world, too!

One last one of the bird

How can I not give this park a high rating.  The girls love this park and for me that is worth a 4 swing rating.  This park has alot to offer.  Wavetech also has a bathroom and water fountain.  Which are a must when visiting a park.  The park is very close to home and we could walk there if we would like.  I am taking the summer off and I am looking forward to all the rest of the parks we will be able to visit.  It will be the first time I have ever had a summer off and I am really looking forward to the time spent with the girls and the many adventures we will get into.

Roller Skating, Baby

Our friends had a roller skating birthday party last week and the kids had a great time.  So I took some pics of the the girls and some of their friends.  Drea had a hard time skating at first.  Then they tightened the wheels and she was off and skating.  Charlotte did a pretty good job of skating too. 

Ok, so they are not skating here, but they roller skates on

I love Drea's smile in this picture, I wish she was looking at the camera

Drea, Caleb, Karson, and Jack

Drea and the boys

See I told you they were skating

The girls really did have a good time.  One last story before finishing this post.  At the skating ring there are two big doors that they open up to the outside when it is hot because the place is not air conditioned.  Anyway, I was sitting down eating cake and I heard someone say a kid when outside, they can't be outside with the roller skates on.  It was Charlotte. 

Rail Trail Adventure

The girls and I went for a bike ride on the rail trail the other day and they had a blast.  Well, I didn't ride my bike, I pulled Charlotte's bike along as she walked.  Drea is riding her bike now and that is pretty exciting.  She is still using training wheels, but she is getting there.  I don't know who is more scared to take them off me or her.  I would say me. 

And they are off...

Drea really has gotten so good at riding her bike.  I can't wait to take her back to the trail.

Right after this Charlotte didn't ride her bike again

The next three picture crack me up.  I told them I wanted to take their picture and each time they strike a pose.  I wonder where they got that from.

Hand on hip

Char dropped the ball on this one, no hand on hip

This was my favorite part of the experience.  The girls kept wanting to stop along the path and explore.

I was willing to bet that one of them would fall in...it didn't happen

This was a little waterfall that the girls really liked

Just having fun

This is before going though the tunnel...

...this is after going though the tunnel...in between Charlotte in Charlotte fashion had to go pee...so she peed in the tunnel



Drea took this picture of me...not sure what I am doing

We had the best time going on the trail.  The only thing that was a bummer was we had to be somewhere and had to leave.  The girls were having such a good time I hated to leave.  I hope they will enjoy it as much next time as they did this time.
