Yesterday my children and I went to find a park to have a picnic at and enjoy some time outside since most of this week someone in our house has been sick and we have not been able to go many places. At first, I was just going to take them to a place that we have been to a few times, but then I decided to ask them if they wanted to try a new park and since we have only been living here for about a year and a half there are plenty of new parks to explore. The majority said to go to a new park and so we headed to one that we had not been to before, but upon arriving there it was so packed there was no place to park and did not look like we would have a place to sit for lunch. With this being the situation we decided to head up the little mountain here called Alum Rock Park where there
There are two different playgrounds, one for older children that has big slides, swings and monkey-bars, and then there is another one with a cement eagle and ants and baby swings. My children love going to the younger playground and making up adventures while pretending to be baby eagles with the big eagle slide. We had some food while they would run and play in between eating. The youngest had fun just trying to go for a little walk on his own, which made me have to go and chase him down. Then you have my middle son who just loves to wander off sometimes and so after we ate we decided to go on a little walk.
