Week 3 of Summer

After returning home from Father's Day weekend the kids and I had another adventure packed week. Our  big trips this week were to a new park I had found, back to Oregon Ridge, the mall with Miss Julie and downtown to Port Discovery with Kris! Port Discovery will get it's own post after this because there are just too many cool pictures :)

To start the week off I found a new park for us to try out. It boasted having a huge play area, long slides, a train ride and a carousel. It didn't disappoint on any of those fronts. It was a kinda hot day so the kids didn't last on the playground quite as long as I had planned but that's okay. Of course their favorite playground feature was the sandbox!




Jake's classic pose for this summer

Note to adults...we are a bit big to fit comfortable through the tunnel slide, yes I learned that by experience







Brooke's new requirement for any park...monkey bars!
After they wore themselves out on the playground we headed over the to carousel and train ride. The kids had a blast on both :)





The scenery was really pretty


A few days later we once again headed to Oregon Ridge (it has become a weekly trek for us!). Oregon Ridge is a lake with a beach area for the kids. What is so neat is the way they have it roped off the kids don't need life vests. They do have deeper water but you have to pass a swim test first. We have spent many, many hours there this summer and they never seem to get bored of it! It's such a gem, I'm so glad we found this special place.
That's as deep as it gets

Everytime we go the dumptruck is a big hit




This week we also went back to see Miss Julie, where once again Jake got picked to be an assistant. He is one lucky boy!!!
