State Park

Believe it or not, there is a state park right downtown. The park was just created about 2 years ago. The land was formed when our city dug out dirt to make the deep tunnels for our sewer system. The park was built on the island that was formed from dumping the dirt.

The lighthouse is at the mouth of a river where the river and the lake join.


We separated into two groups and had a class for the younger kids & one for the older kids. This naturalist was simply fantastic with the younger ones. She did circle time activities, read a book, and played games - all to reinforce the concepts she was teaching. Aren't the views of the city in the background just amazingly beautiful. Plus we really ended up with great weather the day we went. It rained the day before and the day after. Our day was just perfect - yah! God really answered that prayer! I really didn't want all the work of having to reschedule.




Don't ya just wonder what on earth they are looking for?
My youngest loves to pose for the camera!
