The Saturday before school started we decided to take the kids to Deanna Rose Park after lunch for a few hours. It's been the hottest and most humid summer ever and so we've mostly spent it at the pool. But it was overcast and not too hot so we thought we'd give it a go. We pulled up and sure enough the clouds parted and the sun beat down on us. It was going to be HOT! Oh, well. First things first--we bought a pass that included all of the activities (I never do this, so we only ever do the free things). The kids were ecstatic! They could finally ride the ponies. So we headed over to that FIRST. 
Then we got to meet the new calf at the park and feed it some lunch.
Thank goodness they had some sprayers to cool off. After we were sufficiently soaking wet, we moved on.
This park is made into an old pioneer town. So, the kids learned what it meant to go outside and get some water. They raced to see who could fill up the bucket first.
I always love feeding the pygmy goats. They all crowd around the kids when they know that they are carrying food. It reminds me of when I bring out Popsicle's on a hot summer day and the kids all attack me to pick the color they want first.
Amelia's trying to look coy when what she's really doing is trying to avoid the goat from eating her shirt.
The gardens are usually full of beautiful flowers but the heat has been so bad I took pictures of my own beautiful flowers instead-my kids!
Cardon has a good sense of humor and went along with my proddings!
We took a walk in nature where it was a bit shady. Jace kept announcing that he was sure we were lost. We did find our way back around though--the big loop helped us out!
Jace will be in his 2nd yr. of pre-school this year. Right away he found HIS letter--J for Jace!
We ended the day with some delicious ice cream to cool us off. Happy summer kiddos-Now Back To School You Go!!!!!!
