Adventures in the great Midwest! Part 4

It's time for another Show Us Your Town post! I love these, as it really makes me take a minute to STOP and THINK and realize that when we do things, it's not something to take for granted, that I should take photos and enjoy it. Now I can enjoy sharing it with you too!

This week was SWELTERING in the great Midwest, we had heat indexed days in the 100s! Blahh! Instead of grouchy kids, I  had happy, screaming kids! We walked right over to the neighborhood splash park to spend the day! Walked?? I know, but I figured if they worked up a good sweat, they would play harder and then dry off on the walk home and take a good nap!

This splash park is so much fun and has plenty of seating and picnic areas and even a regular play park. The kids love to go here, but we only hit it up during the week as on the weekend it's a nightmare! haha!! My husband and I totally have a blast running around too! There are squirting guns, kid washes, sprinklers and the like! This splash park is definitely a MUST-Do for the locals and on Friday nights they even do a movie in the park!

Adventures in the great Midwest! Part 3

Do you know what I love about NOT living in a big old city? The farms, the farmstands, the Farmers Markets, the fruit stands etc! Right down the road (we go by bike!!) is an apple orchard that opens early in the summer for berry picking and stay open right through early November with pumpkins and apples! We love to go berry picking and can easily kill hours here! The kids each get their own buckets and we have a blast! There is no limit, we can never have too much or too little, so it's no big deal! We leave whenever everyone is ready to head out!

The blueberries are the easiest to pick at they are growing right on trees with no thorns and they fall right into your hands! These are so fun to pick and taste soooo sweet! YUM!

The raspberries are harder as they are usually in the middle of very thorny bushes! Guess which my kids love to pick more? The raspberries!!HAHAH!! I guess they love a challenge!! We are headed to a strawberry farm in the upcoming week to get some sweet delicious you pick strawberries and lettuce, this one we have to drive to as it's about 10 minutes away and no sidewalks!
