A Beautiful Summer Day at the Park

The kids and I have spent countless days at the pool this summer because we have been under constant heat advisory warnings... Today, it was perfect! Temps in the 80s with a nice breeze so I figured, let's just have a park day.. We went to Lake of the Woods which we hadn't done at all this summer! We started out playing at the park, walking up the tower (which was being painted so we could only go to the middle), and then we drove over to the gardens which the kids enjoyed. The waterfall sounded serene and the bench swing was inviting! They put on a dancing concert for me in the gazebo... Then onto the Early American History Museum that's just right off of the gardens. The kids had fun playing in the many cool exibits including a realistic wig-wam, a horse drawn carriage and a dry erase table that you can draw all over.
It was just the kind of day that I needed.. stress has been plaguing our house lately. Thanks to my sweethearts for making it enjoyable!
