Jester Park

Hi everyone! Here are some pics from our adventure to Jester Park on Saturday. The park is beautiful and there weren't many people out there. We decided to have a picnic and we found a great spot tucked away back from the road. The picnic table was back at the end of the lot and there was a whole field in between the table and the road, perfect for soccer. Olivia and I won 2-1 against Steve and Sophie. Wooohooo! Sweet victory. Once we got the charcoal going, we had hot dogs and pasta salad, grapes, and goldfish.

We cleaned up lunch together and the girls used teamwork to get the cooler back to the car. Then they were ready to play! Jester Park just built a "natural playscape". It's a playground of sorts, and is built with all natural materials. Above is a picture of the pond and the fountain there. There is also a sand pit where the kids can uncover dinosaur bones, but we did that whole thing in the wrong order. Leave it to Sophie NOT to just wade in the water but to sit in it, and we decided not to cake sand on top of those wet clothes so we ultimately skipped archeology. But it was fun to visit and the girls had a great time. On the way out, Steve found a family of tiny toads that the girls attempted to capture to no avail. They were quick, sneaky little suckers. We had a great day!
