Metea Park

My friend Summer and I took our kids and a couple that she babysits to Metea Park right by our house. It is a huge park with a sandy beach and swimming pond. We took sand toys, picnic lunch and floaties for their arms and had a blast! It is hard to take the kids to a pool, because if there is no kiddie pool, neither kid can swim or stay afloat, and I have to hold on to two boys at one time. Its just too tricky. So we have hardly ever gone to a pool this summer besides swimming lessons. This place was awesome because it was a beach. So they could go in to their ankles all the way up to their shoulders as they felt comfortable. And they loved it!! Jaxton went in to his shoulders and felt so brave. And Cooper wore his floaties and was walking around on hands and feet around the water. It was such a fun experience. Afterward, we put all the kiddos on the grass so they wouldn't get all sandy again while we cleaned up our stuff. They were so cute all sitting up there that we had to snap a photo. What a great day!!
