Dual Purpose Park Day

Today we drove 30 minutes to go play at the park...not a normal occurrence when there isn't a birthday party involved!  But today's dual purpose park day was so Tom's mom could see the kids AND so the kids could play at the very cool park near Tom's parents' assisted living home.

This is the second time we've done this, and both times it's worked great:  Tom drops off me and the kids at the park, then walks to get his mom from their home and brings her to the park.  We're blessed to have a very nice park within walking distance from their home, since we were spoiled being able to play at their house before they moved into assisted living this summer.  There's a lounge with a few toys at their assisted living home, but a park provides a lot more space for noisy kids.

This park has new and interesting equipment that we haven't seen at other parks, so it's fun for the kids to play on stuff that spins and swooshes differently from the slides and swings their used to.  It was a fun day!
