Blast from my past!

Look at this park below:
Does it look familiar? Look closely? Now can you tell where it is?If you've ever driven to Lake Powell, Moab, Arches or Canyonlands you have probably passed this park on the way. It is just outside of Price in a little town called Wellington.
My family used to drive to Lake Powell every summer. We went for many years until I married Nate. Then the tradition stopped. It was a tradition every time we drove down to stop at this park and take a pit-stop and play at the park and have lunch. (Usually tuna or chicken salad sandwiches.)
The park back then only had a metal slide, monkey bars, and swings. Now the park has a great playground--in fact three! It was fun for me to take my kids to this park --the memories came flooding back. They loved playing at this park, and it's only five minutes away--I'm sure we'll be going back many times!

Caleb's face says it all: it was a fun day playing at the park! I love happy boys!

Whatever Ty does--Mara wants to do! She is getting more and more brave!

Her favorite thing to do at the park now is the monkey bars! Sometimes she can do it on her own, other times she needs a little help!

This little boy has no fear of heights or speed! He'll go down the slide backwards, upside down, forwards--however he wants!

Mara's favorite this has always been the swing. She can pump herself and no longer wants a push!

I think Ty is part monkey--climbs like one, hangs like one!

This is the slide I remember as a kid. It's one of the tallest slides I've ever seen.

Here goes super baby-backwards!

Here she goes--can she do it by herself?! Almost!

There is a good chance we are going to Lake Powell this year (yay!) but we won't be stopping at this park this time! That's okay, we can go anytime! It's nice living closer to all the great places like Lake Powell, Arches and Canyonlands! Can't wait to explore and play in these hot spots this year and for a good while!
