Memory Grove Park

Remember last summer, how I whined nonstop about how miserably pregnant I was, and how I felt so bad about not being able to take my kids anywhere?  Well, I am working hard to make up for it this summer!  We have been getting out and exploring and discovering little treasures that Salt Lake City has to offer us.

My sweet friend, Ashley, sometimes accompanies us.  I love having an extra hand with my crazy kids, and she loves them.  Ashley and I have grown really close, and I appreciate her friendship so much.  She and Robert are a blast to hang out with.  Roo LOVES Robert, it's really sweet.

So today, we headed over to the Avenues to Memory Grove Park.  I can't believe it's right there, and I've never been there before!  The kids had fun running around and playing in the water.

Oh my goodness, this thing freaked me out so bad.  How do you like that, DeAnn??  By the way, we saw this in a little canal over by the van....NOT by where the kids were playing!!

Ashley and my kids. 

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.  I need my backpack, sleeping bag, hiking boots and some ramen noodles, please.  It's been tooooo long.  Few things make me feel more relaxed than being surrounded by green, leafy foliage.  :)
