Family Fun Adventure

Several people told us about Lakes Regional Park.  I am not sure why we hadn't already visited.  It may have been that it is in the next county over and 45 minutes away :(  Here is a cute 30 second YouTube video about Lakes Regional Park.

Chris had a Saturday off and we decided to pack a lunch and head on out.  Well most of us, the younger boys were super excited about taking a field trip but the older ones decided to sit this one out.  So the 4 of us packed up and headed out.

When we first got there, we had to pay for parking and then we set off on our adventure.  I was floored on how huge this place was.  There are several benches along the way to just sit and enjoy the gorgeous view.   We saw a wild bunny and even caught a glimpse of a huge turtle in the water.

The boys were really excited for the train ride.  It was a neat experience, we loved the Christmas villages, building,tunnel of lights and the train museum.

And of course, what is a trip to any park with out a nice long visit to the playground.  It is a great way to burn off that young energy:)

Here are some pictures of our adventure~ enjoy:

This is what happens when the older boys decide not to go :)

We really enjoyed ourselves and the younger boys are itching to go back.  The older boys really missed out on this adventure.

I can't wait to see where our next Family Adventure takes us :)
