A New Park

We LOVE being outside and playing at the park!!!! Any park -- the boys are pretty easy when it comes to choosing a park -- any park is fine with them! It is all about the time spent OUT SIDE!!!! But I like to change it up and try new parks, and we are very fortunately here in Temple to have many great options. So we found this new little park (Jackson Park) tucked away in the historic district of Temple and played for the afternoon!

Oh, it was sunny, in the mid-70s, breezy and just beautiful that day!!!

This park had an interesting play area with several different things to climb on and through, etc. It had rope netting to climb on, this really tall tongue looking slide, and a rocking seahorse. Plus it had a walking trail with HUGE pecan trees and a little (dried) gully area with some pretty stone bridges. It is one of the oldest parks in the city and is made from land that was donated by 2 families who were part of the founders of Temple -- the McCelvey's and the Scott's (interesting little history lesson!) Anyways, we had a great time getting some vitamin D and playing out in the fresh air, and I got to take some cute pics of the boys in action! We will have to visit this park again soon!
