Log Boom Park

We're slowly exploring the area around us.  One of the nice things is the abundance of parks.  Just 5 minutes from our house is Log Boom Park.  It's right along the north edge of Lake Washington.  We took a little walk and watched the Bald Eagles over the lake and in the trees above us.  Then we stopped at the playground.  There's a lot of climbing and spinning toys for the kids to play on.  Finally, we walked out on the pier.  There was a huge heron and we watched the teenagers swimming.  Lots of fun.

Juanita Park

Our ward has a park group that meets every Tuesday.  We go to different parks in the area and let the kids play while the moms chat.  On this day, we went to Juanita park in Kirkland.  It's on Lake Washington and has a little beach and swimming area.

Anna and Matthew had so much fun there.  We dug in the sand and messed with the seaweed.  Anna thought the best things was to smear herself with sand and then rinse off in the lake.  She thought it was hilarious.  Matthew was very brave and splashed around and even sat down in the lake.
