Today I had a moms group playdate at Crossroads Community Park in their water spray area. I never knew this place existed so I was really excited to find out about it. It's a great park with all these cool whales, dragons, rock walls, etc. that spray water, as well as a big dry land playground. Today was really hot so I was really looking forward to it. But, as has happened before, I never actually found the group! I had forgot the organizer's phone number at home so I couldn't call, and I've never yet met anyone so I had no idea who was with the group and who wasn't and there were way too many people to just start asking. In any case, we still had fun, although it was really hard for me to keep track of both girls by myself so we didn't stay too long. I'm hoping to go back in a few weeks when Paul is on vacation and can come with us (we could go on a weekend but I'm sure it's a zoo).
Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island. When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground. So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time). The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders. They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits. They were SO sandy and wet coming home.
