I am sorry that our posts have been so few and far between lately. As you are aware, there has been a lot of stress around our house and Olivia has really been keeping us on our toes. She wants to walk everywhere, yet she won't do it on her own. Therefore, at the end of the day I am exhausted and spend just a little bit of time with Chris before I crash for the night. Needless to say, I haven't had the energy to create a new post. I am sorry about that.
We did take a trip to Lansing about a week ago to visit family. It was a wonderful visit and they took us to a local park so we could get out and enjoy the day. We thought we would share those pictures with you.
These first few pictures are of Hawk Island Park. It is really big! There is a boardwalk near the lake to walk on and there is also an asphalt trail in the woods (great for strollers!). They also have a dog park nearby.
This is a picture of a water play area that is open in the warmer months. All of the colorful things you see squirt water in one way or another. The white poles are for tarps to create shade area. It looks like tons of fun!!
This is the play area for the kids. We didn't get to this until the end of our walk and Olivia was getting cranky by this time (nap time!), so we didn't take her there to play. Maybe next time.
We began our walk on the boardwalk around the lake. The lake was a bit flooded, so it came right up to the bottom of the boardwalk. Here everyone stopped to jump on the boards to make the water come up.
This shows you how high the lake level really was!
Even though we had the stroller, Liv insisted on walking as much as she could.
We stopped on one of the fishing decks to take a look out at the lake. Aunt Nan was showing Liv how to throw sticks into the lake.
Not wanting to stay in one spot too long, Olivia took off to explore the rest of the fishing deck.
And we're off again!
