Want to go to a new park with us?

Want to go to the new park we found in Opelika that has lots of shade and a real choo choo train to ride?
All aboard! It had old stuff and new stuff and the girls loved it.



I have heard some call it "monkey park" and now I know why! LK swung like a monkey on anything she could!

Time to rest and have a drink and a snack at the picnic table

everything seems to taste better after playing at a park and being outside

what's that I hear?
It is the real choo choo train! Want to ride it "sweet pea and cupcake"?

While we waited on our turn to ride, the girls were drawn to this sweet dog. Jack recognized that the dog's owner was a veteran and was pleased to have a nice conversation about both his own background and this guy's service in the present war. We found out he has been home for 5 years and Jack thanked him for serving our country before we left to get on the train.
The train goes through a tunnel bridge and we found the second thing Lk is scared of (there are not many)! She did not like all the children screaming things as went through the tunnel.
But sweet pea loved it and screamed "war eagle" as we went through the tunnel 3 times!

There was no drama or hesitation before went to bed that night! Everyone = Lolli, Pops, Annie, Lily Kate, Bah bah, Mi Mi, Barbie, Kitty Cat, and Angelina all slept very well :)
