Wheaton park

What a weekend for being outside! The weather could not have been more ideal. I know we need the rain badly, but until we get it, we are enjoying the sunshine.

It was a low key weekend around our house, which was very nice. We really did not have any plans, so we decided to venture out on a family outing. I went online to check out what parks we have not been to yet. I learned that Wheaton park has a minature train ride and a carousel.

We packed up lunch and left after Selah's nap. We ate under some big trees with lots of shade. The grass has been so brown around our house, but it was nice to see and sit in some green patches under the trees (I actually took a picture of it). What a great place! Mckenna absolutely LOVED the train ride and went on the carousel 3 times....and even then got off asking, "may I go again?" The train ride and the carousel were only $1.50 per person, which we thought was pretty reasonable.

Another exciting event - Selah took her first steps! We put on the grass and she took a number of steps back and forth between Dave and I.

Below are some of the pictures of our train ride and Mckenna on the carousel. Highly recommend this park for a family outing! The activities are cheap and they have a huge playground as well. However, our girlies were too tired and falling apart by the time we got there, so we didn't stay too long to explore it. But it looked like lots of fun!
