Glen Oak Park Picnic












Today we met up with our friends Emily, Madeline and Coulter at Glen Oak Park. Since we live on the east side of the river and they are all the way back in NW Peoria, we thought we'd meet in the middle. This was the first time I'd been to the park since Kevin and I came one time way before we even thought of having kids and it's not at all like what I remember. But as we drove up to the huge playground, Addison said "Mom, this place is ginormous!" They were going crazy to get out of the car and just go. Funny thing is that we happened to pick the day that over half of the Peoria area schools brought their 1st - 4th graders to the zoo and park for picnics. So for various parts of their play time, my little kiddos were getting over run by "big-kids". Never the less they LOVED playing at the park and I have a feeling that this could be a regular visiting place for us!
