Making memories at Liberty Park

Another tradition when coming home and visiting family is having a picnic at Liberty Park. This tradition actually goes back way before the time of my little family coming home to visit, I remember as a kid going to Liberty Park every year for the big Clegg family reunions. It was always a lot of fun to have all the cousins there and play ghosts in the graveyard, kick the can, and hide and seek. Because we have such a big family with lots of cousins it was perfect to play sports-- we always had enough people for two or more teams for baseball and volleyball.

This time at Liberty Park we all had a fun time playing croquet!

The kids always have a fun time playing at the playground:


We love wading our feet in the pools of water:

Papa bought us all tickets to ride one of the rides! Oh what fun to go on the ferris wheel and merry go round! Mara insisted on riding in a car!
The best part of the night was just being together as a family and spending time with each other. It was fun for the cousins to play together and get to know one another better.
