Back To The Park.....Again

It was back to the park for us again today. You would think we don't have parks at home or at the least we don't ever go to any because the girls are going bonkers about the ones over here. Perhaps it is because there are never anybody else at them or perhaps it is because they are new and different, I don't know.

We went back to Emberton Park this afternoon and walked to it again. It is quite a hike from the house but it is a lovely walk and quite a nature walk. We saw a swan sitting on her nest and her signets had hatched this morning, Lily caught a butterfly that she carried all the way home, we saw wildflowers to numerous to mention, we saw, Canada Geese, mallards, and many other birds and the list goes on and on.

The area of the park we played at today was the play area with the huge slide and then we headed to the gravel pit with the rope and pulley system. The girls would have spent hours there had we not had a 40 minute walk home for our tea.


23 years ago tomorrow Jacob and I were married in this church. We walked passed it on our way to the park and the picture came out really well

Oh my! The parks in England look like so much fun! It seems to me as if a child can really get into using their imagination with things like the ropes & pulleys.
