McWane and Park #4

Earlier in the week, we met friends at McWane to play then hit Railroad Park for more fun and a picnic. Apparently, it had been too long since our last visit to McWane, Pierce couldn't even remember what it was. Even though some exhibits were down, we enjoyed the small crowds. The bubble exhibit, shark tank, and digging for bones were a few highlights!
The classroom exhibit with building blocks and a chalkboard provided lots of entertainment...who knew?!?!  Us mamas were happy to sit down for a few minutes!
The fish tanks are always a hit, the kids were funny interacting with one of the employees as he told them all about one of the fish hiding in the tank.  He would ask them a question and they would yell out the answer.


One special part of this trip downtown was trying out Railroad Park, while it is not new it was new to us!  I can't believe we had not been there yet.  It was a perfect day to let the kids play and have a picnic.  They all loved this spiderweb contraption...I have no idea what it is called, wish I had taken a picture further back where you could see how huge it was.  Maury climbed up to the top!
Pierce now names all of the parks that we go to not by name, but by number.  So, Railroad Park has become #4!  We will have to take daddy with us soon to visit #4 again!!  If only I could keep track of parks and their coinciding numbers....
