totally rad park (channeling my 80’s self)
We’ve been here for 3 summers now, and we’re only just discovering the coolest park located near us. On the way home from Mike’s work picnic last week I spied what looked like a huge and very fun park. I immediately found it on the googler when we got home and decided we needed to visit it ASAP. As usual, the Johnsons were also up for an adventure with us, so we made the trip on Monday. The park did not disappoint. Alyssa even declared that she thought it was better than the Dells and Six Flags combined. I can’t vouch for that, but I will agree that is was an awesome experience for the kids.
Annie’s favorite part of the park was the spider web. Mimi couldn’t get past the first level.
These tunnel slides were so long. Mimi was very afraid at first to go down. I kept seeing her pacing back-and-forth between to the 2 slides, then come down the stairs, and then back up. Finally after 20 times of doing that she braved her way into the tan slide and came screaming down the entire ride. Of course, she loved it and went back several times more. However, she was still fearful of trying the brown slide and asked me to go down with her. I said sure and after I pretended to sit down with her I shoved her down. Don’t judge; she loved every second of it.
The dish swings looked so fun that I wanted to try them out, too. Violet didn’t exactly feel the same way.
This contraption reminded me of a frisbee golf net (that was the theme for nephew Jimmy’s graduation). Doesn’t watching the video of them spinning make you dizzy? It does to me. Ugh, I’ve got to sit down for a bit. (Note: I know what I said sounds mean not wanting the new child to enter the scene, but I just wanted to finish the video of our kids only so that it would be internet safe.)

And I couldn’t resist snapping a picture of my girlies inside the log.
I didn’t think the park could get any cooler, but then they also had a splash pad. What a way to refresh oneself after getting all sweaty at the park.
Drying off in the sun.
Of course, the day would not be complete without some ice-cream afterward. Even Violet got in on the action.
Fun was had by all. We will definitely be going back and soon.
