Liberty Park

I decided to try something different this summer! Usually me and a couple friends go to lunch, usually on Wednesday. After going to a very chaotic McDonalds a couple weeks ago I decided I would LOVE to stay away from that mess. So I am going to take the kids to a different park every week to have a picnic and play! The first one was Liberty Park. It was a blast! We had a picnic and then the kids played around on the splash pad. They weren't too happy with it at first because there were TONS of older kids there for field trips and they were hogging the play area. So once they were gone they enjoyed it more!!

After a bit we walked around trying to see if there was any other water to play in. We found a cute pond with ducks and fish.
Then the kids came across this fountain and before we knew it they were ALL in it swimming around. It was funny...they wanted to swim so bad that we just let them go at it for a few minutes. To give you an idea...at one point there were 12 kids in there!






The day wouldn't be complete without delicious snow cones. There was a little stand at the end of the park by where we parked our cars. The enormous small cup was only $1.50. Kaitlyn cracked me up because she kept saying "I picked the messy kind...it keeps jumping of my cup all over me". Her legs were covered in rootbeer syrup. Jenica and Alicia didn't want to be too close to her for the picture even. So they were sitting on the clean side of the bench.
