Cedar Rapids has a small, small, small place where they keep a few ducks, pigs, chickens, and things of that nature for kids to come see. (Basically, it's for the kids that have never seen a farm before.) Anyways, since I had never been to the Bever Park Zoo, Nicole, our nanny, and I thought it would be something fun and different to do. So I picked a day when I had extra hands to help to go check it out. My mom was in town and had brought my niece Madison with her, and then my other niece Rachel also came. We decided to have a little picnic at the park first, and then move on to the zoo. I thought they had a splash pad there but it turns out that it was way old and no longer in use. It was really hot that day so I was actually looking forward to getting my feet wet a little. Although, they did have a pool nearby that Olivia begged me to take her to, lucky for me, "Next time we come," actually worked! (and in case your wondering, "next time," has not come yet.)
So below are some picture of our adventure at Bever Park!
Here we are trying to have a picnic. Nicole brought her roommates little dog. He was supper cute, and I use to have one just like him when I was a little girl, but the kids had never been around a puppy before so it was all very exciting for them (and nerve wracking for mommy)!
Here are my kids taking up all the little baby swings! Sorry folks, your kids are just going to have to wait their turn! :)
Jonathan.
I love this picture. He was having so much fun flying through the air! Somehow I forgot his hat, so he had to wear one of sisters! Still looks pretty cute though, if you ask me!
Liv playing on the play ground.
Checking out the geese.
Hayden, Hannah, and Jonathan wondering when this hot tour is ever going to end!
The kids did really well, and we will probably come back again next year. And who knows, maybe we will even go to the pool! ;)
