The city owned park near our house once boasted a beautiful lake. Years of neglect and misuse left it a real overgrown mess. Fortunately, most of the park was well maintained and we were still able to enjoy it, as long as you avoided walking down the hill to the "lake," which contained no water and looked nothing like a lake but more like overgrown brush. However, earlier this year, our city councilwoman worked hard to secure a large sum of money and hired a firm to come and reconstruct the lake and all its glory, and wow did they do a fantastic job! Never in a million years did I expect the outcome to be so dramatic. I don't have any before pictures - we hadn't been down there in a few years because it wasn't somewhere you wanted to be at all - but I have plenty of after pictures. The past 2 weekends Jack has been to the lake 3 times and he just loves it, as do we! As if we didn't love our neighborhood enough, now we have even more great places to play!
There's so much to see from up here!
Walking back up from the lake takes a little while when you have such short legs.
The view from the top of the park...
Trying to catch Daddy speed up the walk home a little bit!
Oh but wait...look at this rock...
and this stick! He just loves exploring everything he can outside and cannot get enough!
Later that day he got to go back with Grams and Gramps!
He thinks this little stone house is his...
