Our Liberty Park Adventure...

We went to the Seven Canyons fountain at Liberty Park to splash around and have fun. We hadn't been before and the kids loved it. We had a picnic on the grass and the kids played and played in the water.









My "attempt" at getting a shot of Lauryn sitting by her big brothers:).

After we finished with the fountains, we headed off to explore more of Liberty Park. I hadn't been to Liberty Park since I was little and it really is a nice park with a lot to do.

Once we saw the Ferris wheel...we knew we had to go for a ride! So our nice new friend stayed by Lauryn and the stroller so that I could ride with the boys. We had SO much fun! It was one of those moments as a mom that I will always remember. The boys giggled the whole ride and it was pretty cool to see Salt Lake City and the mountains from up high. (Anyone having a "Charly" flashback?:)


After a Ferris wheel ride....you have to get cotton candy and a snow cone!

Lauryn loved the snow cone, but she wasn't sure about the cotton candy. She is constantly trying to eat tissues and wipes at home and I am always digging them back out of her mouth and telling her, "That's yuck!"...and yet here I am shoving "cotton" into her mouth and saying, "Mmmmm...."... Now what is she supposed to think??




Once we finished our long afternoon at the park...It was nap-time!

It was a really fun day. It was the epitome of Summer as a kid...being at the park, playing in the water, having a picnic, riding a Ferris wheel, and eating a snow cone and cotton candy. I think we packed a whole Summer into one fun afternoon!

We discovered that water spot a few years ago and loved it. Although my Matt still holds his sterotyped ideas of Liberty Park, I agree with you in that it IS a nice place now with some fun family spots hidden away! Looks like you guys did have a great time. A perfect Summer day.

Awww, wish I could have been there. I think that is so funny what you said about feeding Lauryn "cotton" when she likes to snack on tissues and wipes. I think she's getting mixed signals.
