Park Week- Day 3

Another late start on Day 3. I take so long trying to figure out routes to the different parks with the kids running around and the baby needing me. And getting sunblock on 4 or 5 people takes some time. This time Jeremy wasn't able to come because he needed to get some work done at home. So the kids and I hit two parks before I needed to go home and eat something. We didn't take picnic stuff with us. Jeremy was able to come with us to one more park after eating. He said he was hurrying to get things done so he could come with us. "I miss Park Week," he told me. I wonder if we'll every figure out how to get an early enough start so we can fit more parks in. Oh, well. That's just us. Here's where we went:

Creekside Park (Lindon).

We got rained out before getting to play here yesterday so the kids were anxious to go to the "rainbow park" today. They spent maybe two minutes on the rainbow colored playground before discovering the rocking toys on the other side of the park where they spent the majority of their time. They also enjoyed posing on the little bridges over the creek that runs through the park.

Bonneville Park (Orem).

The playground was big. There were quite a few kids there (someone may have been having a family gathering), but plenty of room for the kids to run around.

Timpanogos Cove Park (Cedar Hills).

My opinion of the playground? "Whoa."

And what a view.

This park was really up in the hills with a gorgeous view and enjoyable landscaping. There were several pavilions at different levels and each pavilion had a great view of the lake and the valley below. Actually everywhere in the park had a great view of the lake and the valley below. We could also see the Mount Timpanogos Temple which just added to the view. Pretty.

We thought of trying to visit another park before Jeremy had to head to work, but we were all enjoying this park too much. Nichole was happy that here she could reach the talking pipes without jumping.

While the older kids were playing, I took Jr. Jr. for a ride in the stroller along the nicely paved walking path. There were grasshoppers hopping all over the path in one section and the next section had the beautiful sound of honey bees flying around the plants at the side of the path. And of course the view. The view.
We will definitely visit this park again.

It was a good family day.
