On Memorial day we had planned to go to the Zoo with Wade, Jenny and there little family. But once we got close to the zoo, we decided that was a bad bad idea. It looked like the rest of SLC had the same plan so we quickly resorted to plan B, which we quickly made up on the spot. So we ended up at Liberty park.
I didn't know it was such a cute park. It was such a nice day and the kids enjoyed collecting feathers and trying to get close to all the ducks (we had nothing to feed them, but they were not lacking in food)
As we were walking around in the duck poop grass we noticed a few rides for the kids to enjoy, so we headed over, and this is what we found.
A Ferris Wheel that both Wade and I enjoyed with our little girls. (It was actually pretty high when you got to the top.)
There was also a Carousel,
Airplanes,
And Matayia's Favorite, the swings!!!
Matayia loved the swings, I think she rode them 3 times. We were all surprised on high the swings went when they finally started the ride. The first couple of times around Matayia looked pretty scared, but that soon changed to a big smile and laughter. I was actually quite surprised with how brave she was. Each time she got off she quickly said "I want to go again." On her third ride Wade and Jenny decided to join her.
This picture of Jenny says it all, the swings didn't sit so well with her. At this point our tickets were gone and our trip at the park ended. (I think Jenny was relieved.)
We next headed down to the Gateway, walked around for awhile.
We had lunch and then headed to the fountain to let the kids run around in the water. Our kids weren't as brave as I thought they would be. There was alot more watching then playing but eventually they warmed up.(or cooled down)
After the fountain we ventured down to temple square where they are doing alot of construction right now. We walked up by the reflection pool for awhile took some pictures and just let the kids run.
Thanks Wade and Jenny for the fun day, the zoo was a bust but we always enjoy the company of you and your family!! (this was much better than working on the fence all day)
