Another Park

Here's another park I discovered one day right on the Mississippi River. They had a playground of course, but also had a "scenic overlook" which was really not scenic at all. I thought it would be a great view of the river but you couldn't even see the water because of all the trees in between. I tried to get a picture of the girls together but you know how easy that is. At least Emily obliged:
Bri was more concerned with walking around, picking up things on the ground (she likes to pick up trash, wrappers, cigarette butts, things like that. Lovely.) Luckily she didn't pick up the two grasshoppers I saw mating, disgusting.
Then we followed a steep little path that led down to the river. Now that was pretty cool.
I think the girls would've had more fun playing down there but we didn't stay long. Bri was already starting to walk back up the path. As you can maybe tell, it was pretty steep and she kept slipping backwards. I had to carry her the rest of the way.
Last but not least here's a picture for mom. She always likes to know where things are and is probably getting her atlas out right now to look it up! :)

Emily and Bri, Grandma loves you. Cute pictures--Bri is growing up! It's amazing how many parks you have to choose from!

I'm experimenting to see if I can leave a comment, because I can't for some reason today on Annie's and Michelle's.

The girls look like they are getting so big. Also, they both look like they enjoy the great outdoors. I think it is a wonderful idea to visit all the differant parks with the girls. Paisley loves playing at the park, although she does not do a whole lot of playing. She loves just starring and watching other kids and people in general.
