Who Says Learning Can't Be Fun!

The kids earned a trip to the park today. It's been a long time since we've been to Park Discovery, but it was still as cool as it was when it was first built. Park Discovery was built not long after Chris and I got married. It was completely built by the community (hand painted and everything). I was working at the Center at the time so Chris and I went over and helped for a few hours. It's kinda cool that 10 years later our kids are enjoying something that we helped build!

Most of the things in the park have some sort of educational theme that goes with them and EVERY apparatus is sponsored by a member of the community. The rocket in the background is sponsored by WECCO. It's a facility just outside of town that makes rocket fuel for NASA. On the inside of the rocket there is a scaled map of the solar system and up top there are 2 pilot seats with speakers that are connected to different areas around the park.  The Jeep in the background of this picture is sponsored by The National Guard and it has speakers that are connected as well. Behind the jeep there's a pirate ship, but I'm not sure who it's sponsored by.

Shelby FINALLY mastered Monkey Bars!!!

Me and "Mogo: The Star of the Show"

You can't see them very well, but there are "dinosaur bones" and other "fossils" buried in the sand box.

The kids had a ball "performing" in the amphitheater. This is Morgan doing her rather sad impression of a horse.

All in all it was a GREAT little outing. The kids had a blast and I had just as much fun as they did!!
Note: There aren't very many pics of Preston because he didn't sit still long enough for me to take a picture! He ran NON-STOP the entire time we were there!
