Park Week- Day 4

We did it! We got an earlier start on Day 4! Before I was even out of bed, Jeremy had Jr. bathroomed, dressed, and eating breakfast. My husband is amazing. Jr. Jr. and Nichole both slept in, but we made it. Here's where we went:

Heiselt's Hollow Park (Cedar Hills).

The landscaping was nice but we weren't too impressed with this one. The sign with the park rules said, "Please clean up and use trash containers." We didn't see any trash containers. They even had bag dispensers for cleaning up after your dog, but nowhere to put them after you've cleaned up after your dog.

Heritage Park (Cedar Hills).

Jeremy and I discovered that we'd each been here on different occasions without the other. Jeremy did a show here and the kids and I went with a gal in our ward and her youngest kids. There is a beautiful stream running through the park with bridges across. The paved walking path is actually part of the Cedar Hills Parkway, a walking/cycling path that runs all over Cedar Hills. It connected Heritage Park to the next park we went to.

Sunset Park (Cedar Hills).

Jeremy wasn't feeling so well (hunger? heat?), so he stayed in the car and watched the kids on the playground from there. Jr. Jr. and I walked around the park then down the Cedar Hills Parkway a little ways to see some ducks swimming in the stream.

Mesquite Soccer Park (Cedar Hills).

This was the kids' favorite park. They liked the "x-ray fish." They could climb up its bones.

There wasn't much shade and it was hot.
Jeremy stayed in the car with Jr. Jr. who fell asleep on the way.

After visiting the parks, Nichole and Jr. went to a friend's house. We didn't have time to go to any more parks after they came home before Jeremy had a show, but thanks to Jeremy getting us an earlier start, we were able to visit those four parks.

It was a good family day.
