About a year ago, we heard that the open field(aka dog run) near our house was going to be made into a park. At first, they were just going to put in soccer fields, but after a few community meetings, they decided to add a play structure. We were excited at the news as the closest park to our house is about 1.5 miles away – walking distance, but a little far to go every day. At the end of the summer, they began work and posted a completion date of the end of October. As all construction projects go, the completion date was pushed back, and we would drive by almost every day to see how it was progressing.
Finally, the first of this month, the park opened. It was quite chilly, but we headed over there one day and checked it out. This week has been quite warm with no rain and temperatures in the mid 50’s, so we headed over there yesterday again, and this time I brought my camera.
Landon was a little nervous to walk across this at first, but after I helped him once, he was a pro. You can see Davis in this picture too – yelling “Mom, come help me!” Unfortunately, he can’t quite do it by himself. His legs are too short. :)
After awhile, they decided to just run around a little too. There’s nothing like nice new grass to run on!
I’m sure we’ll be spending many more days at the new park. Can’t wait!

The park looks great! hope it is good weather when we visit in a few days so we can go see it.
Poor dogs lost their park...
Looks fun! New equipment, happy young men playing on that new "stuff", and tons of running and rolling room! Have fun at your new park!
Love, G & G Malan
It is amazing how important parks become as a young parent...so glad it is finished. It looks great.
The A-Z mystery books were written a while ago. I had not heard of them either. I was at my sisters house and she said her librarian had told her about them and her kids loved them. So I got my hands on them. They are great little mystery books. We have the Magic Tree house books. Justin has been more interested in those, but I think I will try Madeleine again with it.
Landon is so big now!
