View of the park.

I just love her expression here.

Happy to be walking with Dad.

One of the roses in bloom, in August, in 100+ degree weather!

Reid Park has a rose garden.....in this heat? Yep!

Walking back to the car. Wondering if he should follow!?!

On Day 2.

We went to this terrific little park near us. It truly was fun and fun to see the kids enjoying it so much. It was great to have Charles with me... I didn't feel so anxious with each of them going to different areas at the same time. After we played there, we went to Chick-Fil-a! My absolute favorite....ever since living in Asheville. The kids were actually well-behaved at the food court....must be the Daddy factor:) Once we were done, we went to the Build-A-Bear Workshop. To be honest, I have never gone inside. It was new to all of us. Michael picked an adorable green frog....Lindsey, a Hello Kitty(white, ugh!). It was a great day.

The neighborhood park we found had soo many things for the kids to do. It was about 30 minutes away, but worth it. Most parks don't have covers over the playscapes for shade. This park had a cool pirate ship to play on.

And this.

And a fun dinosaur jungle gym.

I like this photo because of the trees above. Mesquite trees are so pretty.

Daddy was a nervous wreck while she was on this.

Our little sweetie. She isn't cross-eyed, I think I was too close to her with the camera. Had to show off her eyes and that smile!

Is it me, or does she suddenly look older?

This park reminds me so much of back East. I sure do miss it.
