Last week...

Last week, Locklan and I packed a lunch...



Including his favorite...


And headed for the local county park.

Alameda Park has two sections...

On top of the hill is what the kids call the Purple Park...

and an amazing pool...

But at the bottom of the hill...

is the site of a former amusement park...
 
 

Complete with a lake!
 
 
The dam is gone, and so is the lake...
but what we have left is a great creek where families come to play...
 
My friend, Deb, commented that as many rocks that are thrown into that creek,
 it's a wonder water can pass through!
 
 
Locklan and I ate our lunch...
 
 
 
And then the rock throwing began!
 
 
 
 
That building in the background is the carousel,
One of the few features left of the original park.
 
 
Pretty soon, someone looked pretty tired...
 
 
 
So we buckled our seat belts and headed home...
 
 
But first, we made one stop...
 
 
The car wash!
 
I thought Locklan would be asleep by then...
 
But when we got home, he was ready to play again!
 
 
 
What a stinker!
 
We are so blessed to have such a smart, happy boy to love on!
 
And we do!

What a wonderful day. Your little guy is just a doll. Don't you love seeing life through his eyes? He is an adorable child and I love the one of him hefting the rock. I hope you have a great weekend. xo Diana
