5. The Park

We can scratch the park off of our Summer Bucket List.  We went Thursday night and boy did we have fun.  There is a park in Springfield that has made quite the transformation over the past couple years.  Nathaniel Greene and The Springfield Botanical Gardens.  So awesome.  It used to not be much of a park but now it's a magical place.  I made sure to photo document with my phone camera.

 Avery's first time on a swing.  She liked it for a little while!

 The kids loved this huge butterfly and caterpillar thing.

 They have a cool butterfly house, it's really awesome.  Full of all sorts of butterflies and some staff that can help you learn more about them.  Really cool.

 Our AWFUL attempt at a self portrait! ha ha ha.

 I couldn't choose between these next two so I am posting them both.

 The flowers were all beautiful, even for us being in a drought.

 These leaf things were awesome.  The kids had a blast climbing all over them.

 Afterward we stopped at Braums for ice cream at a great price.  Bren and I shared this banana split.  YUM.

 Lindsey had a single brownie fudge sunday.  Great fun.  This summer is going out with a bang.
