~Union Park: A Summer Must~

In years past we have been common frequenters to the Des Moines area splash pads.  Between vacations, day camps, swim lessons and sickness we only made it out a hand full of times this year.  I knew as the summer was coming to an end we needed to make a trip or two over to Union Park, one of our favorite spots.  Lucky for us Jakob and Sofie were able to join us!
 The little girls really enjoyed the water.  The big kids had some fun, but I can tell they are all ready to move onto real pools and just don't find splashing around in a foot of water as excited as they used to.  On this day in particular a game on Tiffany's old iphone was much more exciting that the fountains.  Silly kids. 
After lunch we made our way over to the carousel before heading home.  The kids love this ride and at 50 cents a pop, I don't mind if we take a couple turns.  This was the first year Cordy was really able to ride and she loved it!  In fact, she cried when it was time to go.  Don't worry, little lady.  We'll be back next year.
