Beyond 100 Parks Redux #4 - Broadway Park - Crystal, MN

We had a long overdue playdate with some friends from church and decided to meet for pizza at the park.  This was park #46 originally and they replaced it last year.  The structure used to be much closer to the street, so it was nice to see it set back a little.

Key Features

There were a lot of spinning things whihc Parker adorned.

Esme had fun playing "the floor is lava" with Lydia and Peter.

This one improves from 7 swings to and easy 9!

Key Features

We've been on a pretty good kick of park visits and I did not want to slow down even though it was chilly and windy.  The one perk of weather like that is that you usually get the whole place to yourself.

These tree climbers were a fun feature that went with the theme.

There was also a large opem area to play frisbee, which Esme really likes.

Parker is still getting used to it and usually run away from it.

This was a super cute picture of parker trying to help Esme get on the skywheel.

This putting green was a first we've seen at a park, so fun!  We checked out a newer donut shop in maple Grove afterward, Uffda Donuts.  We were limited on options since it was already Noon, but found a couple that looked tasty.  We'll definitely have to be back earlier in the day.

Another easy 8 for this one.

Visit to the Country

We visited grandpa and nana this weekend.

A morning dip in the hot tub while I finished designing a photo book from their trip to Australia last year.

Later on we got to race around with Jameson and Jaxxon.

Esme is becoming quite the little caregiver and pal to them.

Key Features

The first 60 degree day of spring and we lost the sweatshirts!  This park had just about everything you could ask for.

Esme has been trying these talking tubes at every park and I don't think any of them have actually worked yet.

We've been seeing exercise equipment at more parks and Parker thinks they are a blast.

An easy 9 swings for this one.
