Liberty Park

While in Utah, we spent an afternoon at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. Liberty Park has an amazing new playground, a water park, pool, aviary, lake, folk art museum, sport courts... but the best part of Liberty Park is the amusement park area. There are just a few rides, and they are vintage. They aren't fancy or sleek or based on licensed characters, like most amusement rides. The rides are classics: a carousel, Ferris wheel, swings, little airplanes and cars.
Alli and Grandma rode the Ferris wheel, laughing together the whole time. Ruby and Alli loved riding the carousel and waving to Aunt Jen. Alli had to fly the pink and purple airplane. Of course. And Alli was a very focused driver in the car. She didn't take her hands off the wheel or her eyes off the road.
We had a picnic in the park and played on the playground too. Ahhh... the simple pleasures.

Every day was such a special day with the little girls. It was so fun to see them enjoy themselves. Hopefully we'll get to share more time soon together.
