Watson Park. That's the name of the park that I've seen in the Parks & Rec class schedule that looked like a whole lotta fun.Yesterday, it was a GORGEOUS day -- in the low-80s, clear, with a breeze -- and so, on a whim (since I was looking at a day full of a whole lotta nothing), I got the girls and we drove out there. It's not as far as I thought it'd be either -- in fact, it's a 119-acre park hidden in the middle of town.
Who knew?
I knew enough to grab some cash because some of the activities there cost money. They decided on the pony rides, and then the paddle boats.
Only the younger three went on the pony rides; M wanted to save her money for the paddle boats... and yeah, it's a pathetic little operation, but they had fun anyway.
The paddle boats were more worth the money. Except that I found out that a paddle boat is incredible difficult to paddle when it's loaded down with two little kids, and I'm the only one paddling.
Let's just say that my legs hurt afterward!
In addition to fishing (no swimming, though), and picnic places, a train ride and miniature golf, there was a nice playground, where we spent a while... until enough people got injured and/or hungry and it was time to go home.
Yes, I know she should have been a gymnast.
It was fun, though. We'll have to go back and try some of the other things sometime.
