A Day at the Park

We just rediscovered Lions Park in Bremerton this summer; we'd visited the park a few times when we first moved here five years ago, and the park was pretty run down and seedy back then. Earlier this summer, Todd wanted to try out some new places to fish and since Lion's Park is right on the water, Todd suggested we take a picnic lunch there one afternoon. We are so glad we gave it another try! The park has been totally redone, and has beautiful stretchs of green grass, and a great little paved path that loops the park. Every time we're there the crews seem to be making improvements- last month they put in a series of rock statues of a pod of whales surfacing. They are made for kids to climb all over them, and they are beautiful and understated and perfect for a waterfront park.


On a sunny afternoon this week we took advantage of our free time in the middle of the day- after I get home from my half-day, and before Todd heads in for his swing shift- and soaked up the sun at Lion's Park.


We set up camp in the grass and Ginny practiced her rolling over skills. She's turning into a total pro :)


Of course, her favorite game is to fly with dad. Everybody knows that dad's are the most fun....


And Todd even got some time to fish- you can just barely see him on the left. Sadly, he didn't even get a nibble. The view of the Olympic Mountains across the Puget Sound is one of the reasons we love this park.
