Priest Point Park!

Day 3 of our Adventure Jar told us that we would be going to one of our favorite parks (okay, here's the deal- we love just about ALL the parks in the Olympia, Lacey area!) that is about a 7 minute drive from our house; Priest Point Park! This park has a gorgeous, wooded setting and the girls love that the play area is shaped like a boat. Imaginations can run wild at this park. Today, along with 4 or 5 other kids who were at the park they invented a game involving Pirates and how the pirates couldn't come onto the ship. Oh, how I loved sitting on the park bench (with the sun beating down on my face), listening to the girls play with others and interact with them. It was refreshing and beautiful. I will be one sad mom when the day arrives that the girls out grow going to parks- there is something special about them and the innocence that they bring to the girls. At the end of our trip to the park we had a surprise visit by Daddy which was a huge hit with all 3 of us! Daddy ended up taking them to get a slurpee for a hot summer cool down treat while I ran a few errands. We finished off our night with a yummy dinner- hamburgers, homemade fries and milkshakes! Yum! It was a unanimous vote today around the dinner table tonight as well...all of our favorite parts of the day? Yep, Priest Point Park!

This picture doesn't do how beautiful it was at the park any justice!

One of our favorite things about this park is this old rocking swing!

Here are the girls taking a break from the sun in the swing.

Taylor!

Maddie!

Ahoy Mate! A Pirate ship it was today!
