New Park!

The new park is finally open to the public! I don't know what the name of the new park is called, so I will just refer to it as the "new park" ;) We took the kids there yesterday and at first glance I was not impressed. There was a small playground, basketball courts, some grassy fields, and rocks.... lots of rocks. I've always been confused as to why Vegas likes rocks so much. I know it's a dessert, but I just feel like using rocks makes spaces less practical and unusable. We got out of the car and Ti and the boys started playing football on the grass. I watch for a little then decide that I want to start jogging the field. Soon I noticed a path amidst all the dumb rocks. So I start jogging on the path and am amazed at how this path wraps around the park. The path offered lots of different routes and before I knew it I was sweating. I made it back around to the boys and thought to myself that the "stupid rocks" were actually an awesome jogging/bike path. When the boys decided they had had enough football and rugby they asked if they could play on the playground. While I was watching them play I decided that the playground wasn't as crappy as I first thought it was haha! It was centrally located, so if we wanted we could let the boys play on the playground while we jogged the park or we could play basketball on the courts next door while keeping an eye on them. So in conclusion the verdict of the new park is..

 

Hehe ;) We love it!

 We all had so much fun and I'm pretty confident that we'll be visiting the park quite often since the weather is warming up.

Hiker's Haven

Ti took the boys to hike up the mountain at Exploration Park. I stayed home to clean the house and even though I missed out on all the action Ti took pictures with his phone of the boys when they reached the top.

Outdoor Checkers

Wednesday we were surprised to not only have Heber over, but Palmer as well. Cheryl dropped them off in the morning and when we got to the park Siope, Nic, and Palmer got to play on the playground until it was their turn for practice. I thought it was adorable when I found the boys playing checkers. They had set up the game board with rocks as their checker pieces while Palmer attempted to teach Nic how to play. Aren't they so cute?!

Exploration Park

Mote's off track for 3 weeks, Ti got off work early, and the weather was 95 degrees- Let's go to the park!
