Well, we found another gem last night. I was poking around the Anoka County Parks site, looking for one that might be closer than Lake George. The Lake George is a great place, but it is nearly twenty miles from us.
Lo and behold, I found one that is only 11 miles from us, with a beach area and everything. We packed up the kids and went to check it out last night. The beach just opened in 2000, so it is great shape, there's a playground, concession area, bathrooms that are incredibly clean for a park. We let the kids go swimming last night, not many people there (it was a weeknight after all), but it will be a great place to go.
It's straight down Main Street, and there aren't many traffic lights that way, so didn't take long to get there. It's part of a larger park, reserve area. There are several lakes in the area, and there are biking and hiking trails too. There's some kind of Nature Center we'll check out, maybe it's something the kids would enjoy.
That's one thing about this area, they make an effort to have lots of quality parks.
Lately John has been laughing in this deeper voice "ha ha haaaa". I wasn't sure what he was doing, till yesterday he said something about the Count, and laughed like that. He is laughing like Count on Sesame Street! Like he counts, "one apple, two apple, ha ha haaa". Funny boy.
Last night I was changing his diaper, and he wanted to play with Scoopy (a little tractor.) He said "Hello, Scoopy", and then did something funny, and John said "silly old bear". (From Pooh!)
Rhonda had the kids out playing with the snap pops yesterday. Hanna likes to step on them to make them pop, and she didn't want them to pop when she'd drop them. She'd drop them and go to step on them, but sometimes they would pop first, so she figured out that if she bent over, they wouldn't drop from as high, and wouldn't pop. She's a sharp gal!
Turned out to be a pretty good All-Star game last night. The AL came back and won. Lots of home runs.
