Fun Day at the Park

Yesterday we planned a fun little park activity with some friends. The city has a great lunch program going on during the summer at all the Salt Lake Parks. Free lunch for kids 18 and younger. We thought what a great idea to eat lunch at the park without having to pack up lunches.
I grabbed some tacos for me and we headed to the park. The kids played on the playground for a bit before lunch. Once lunch started we all sat down and enjoyed the nice warm day under a big tree.
I told Etta the night before that we were going to the park and she could run through the sprinklers. So after she ate her burrito, applesauce, carrots and chips she let me know she was ready to go run through the sprinklers.
Liberty Park is awesome. They have a large playground area with water sprinklers, slides, and swings. It does get a bit crowded but the kids still have some fun.
Etta didn't run all the way through them but liked the sprinkle here and there. She had fun playing just on the outside of the sprinklers and on her favorite little "Mr. Turtle".

Waiting for the sprinklers to get smaller and then running through the tunnel.

Gibby had a little fun at first and then when the sprinklers go bigger wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Having fun with little sprinkles, ready to leave now.


A few little standing pictures, but still not liking the big sprinklers.

Our friends were getting ready to leave when I got a call from our good friend Angelica saying she was at liberty park and wanted to see if we could come over. I told her we were already there and where excited to come find them and play some more.

This time we went to the little streams and canyons area they have there. Etta and Layla loved seeing each other and played for about 2 more hours. Angelica and I chatted and dangled our feet while Gibby splashed a bit. Angelica's mom was there and took the girls on walks to the waterfalls, to chase some birds and run up and down the big hill. Etta had so much fun and when it was time to leave wanted to go home with Layla on the bus.
We snapped some pictures before they got there and forgot to get some of Layla and Etta together. We will just have to make another play date at the park or pool for some good little pictures.
