The weather is changing - Tumbleweed Park

The weather is finally cooling off, so we decided to take the kids to the park first thing on Sunday morning. It was very empty, minus a couple of birthday parties. The kids had a blast. We spent a long time over at the zip lines and swings. The kids were so patient waiting their turn and interacted with a few other kids there. It was also a nice day for mom and dad because we didn't have to deal with any bullies or rude kids. All the other park kids were very polite and well-behaved.



This is the chair zip line. The kids all took turns. Sometimes parents would be there to push their own kids, other times Jeff would end up pushing some random kid. This was Adele's favorite.




This was the other zip line. It was a constant 4-5 kids in line. The kids mostly did this one on their own, but sometimes a parent had to help out a little.

The kids lined up for the zip line.  I love how Gordon and Adele have the same pose.

The kids like to pretend to play this game that involves tracking and tapping the little domes when they light up.

Here's Walter and Gordon cracking up on the tire swing. I ended up pushing kids on this swing for a LONG time. I pushed the boys on two separate occasions. Then I finally got Adele to come over. She was on the swing with another little girl (6.5 years old) who had been with us over at the zip line. The little girl started telling Adele all about the Arizona Science center. Adele was laughing and asking lots of questions. Then the little girl's brother came over, so I pushed the three of them. Adele got down and another girl came up, so I pushed three random kids. I was pretty exhausted!

While I was pushing kids on the tire swing, Jeff rotated the kids through this big swing. Here's Adele. I think this was her second favorite thing after the chair zip line.
