Watkins Park 2008

We went to Watkins Park for playgroup a few weeks ago. The Pilkerton kiddos were staying with Grammie, so we invited them along for the trip. We had a really great time and the weather was perfect!

We rode the carousel first.....

When the kiddos saw this cow, Hannah exclaimed "That's a lot of steak!"


Train tracks!






After we rode the train, we went to the farm.....

He may feel soft and furry, but look at his eee-vil eyes!


Chickens!

Ducks, geese and swans!


Is your momma a llama?


Horses




The peacocks were chasing each other around their pen. There was only one hen in the whole bunch and she was running from the peacocks the whole time.












Sitting pretty on the swings


Josiah and Ashley loved the zipline




Riley runs across the dangling bridge


The bumpy slide was a big hit!








Noah rides the turtle


Even though Grammie fell and had a busted lip and knee, she still was able to ride down the slide!
