It was another beautiful fall day in Washington. Where is all the rain we heard about? The air is crisp but the sun is warm. We started out with a snack at the picnic tables.
Then it was time to explore. It is so fun when you move somewhere because you have no idea what lies ahead for you when you go somewhere. But we saw a trail and decided to walk on that. It led us down to a lake that was for kids 12 and under to fish at.
We wandered through trails and over bridges enjoying the beautiful scenery.
We wandered into a part of the park called Dinosaur Park. It had a few dinos to ride and climb on. Naomi wanted to keep trying to feed the dinosaurs.
Then it was down a trail and up a hill.
Then down another trail...wonder where this one leads?
We found some benches that overlooked a beautiful meadow. We found mushrooms and Micah climbed a tree, sort of. Then down a big hill to another bridge.
We found a stream and the kids had fun throwing sticks in and watching them float down. Naomi tried to sneak her foot in the water but Micah was quick and caught her!
Back up another hill! We saw the cutest squirrel eating a nut. We could actually hear him crunching and cracking it, very cool!

There was a part of the park where people could have their own little plot of garden and we saw this gorgeous flower.
There was a cool machine that use to be used for logging and a renovated pioneer house. It was closed so we could not got in but we peeked through the windows.
Then it was finally time to play at the playground! Naomi's favorite thing was the Marysville Express and the boys favorite thing was pretending they were train robbers so Darrick and I chased them around and put them in jail, when we could catch them! It was a great afternoon!

It looks great! And you had so many adventures! Beth
I still can't believe how amazing it is that Darrick is around so much!!! Is it really warm enough for shorts? I can't even imagine what Darrick looks like in pants...weird ;) So happy you're all together!!!
Jenn,
I would love to see the park from the kids perspective. It would be so cool if they had their own blogs where they posted their pictures from your adventures and wrote about what they liked.
Is that Barney is the park? It is so natural there...
Your pictures are so beautiful! It seems like it was a great fall family field trip! We go on similar "nature walks" nearby this time of year. Though we had SNOW falling on Oct. 15th... argghh! Don't you just love exploring with the kids? You're such a great mom! <3
