Discovery Park...what a blast!

Last week we went on a fun playgroup activity with our little group in the ward. We decided to escape the heat and head North to Cedar City. We went to discover the DISCOVERY PARK, and had a BLAST !!!! The boys had so much fun running discovering and playing that I could hardly catch a picture of them as they blew by. The playground is huge with many cute little areas that really lead to make-believe play. Parker organized the little group of boys into teams and they played "cops and robbers" forever, I did see many of the boys stop at the girls pretend diner for a gourmet pretend treat (I'm sure) There were also fun cars and jeeps to play on and an area to make music with pipes and bells.

The boys really liked the red seat swing, and thought swinging was a whole new experience in it. They wanted me to take their picture swinging, but it was really hard to catch them when they were moving so fast :) They also experienced a tire swing for the first time, Jordan wasn't sure he liked it because it "went all CRAZY spinnin all around!"

After most of the group had left, we went with the Ashcrofts to check out the man made lake across the street. It was so AWESOME that instead of just a quick look to see if we would want to come back, we spent 3 hours there! There was a great beach with beautiful sand, a pretty big lake that many people had little boats on and were fishing , and the slope into the water was great...the kids could go out pretty far and still touch. No one had swimming suits or beach toys, but we had so much fun. Parker and Jordan were so brave in the freezing cold water, I told them to stay where they could touch (I'm not sure I would've gone in to save them hehehe)After hours of fun, we rinsed off and headed home, worn out and loving the 5hour day spent at the park! We must go back soon!!!
P.S. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new van...I guess I really was a mini-van Mommy deep down inside! I really makes trips like this a breeze!
