This afternoon after the kids got home from school we headed to Central Park (not to be confused with NY city's Central Park). A few of the neighbors headed there and we thought it was a good way for us to distract ourselves from our sadness. It's hard not to think about Dakota so the best thing for us to do right now is to try to focus on the kids.Central Park is a huge park in our area. I hardly visit there before. I have never been to the playground area before. But I think after today I will make it my routine to visit there more often. Might even make it a Pizza in a Park friday thing.
The playground area is fenced in and they had 2 main areas. One for smaller kids and another section is for bigger kids. In the middle that separate the two areas is the cover area with picnic tables and bathroom. Very convenient!!! One thing that I notice is that since this park is relatively new (built in 2001) so there aren't that many shade area. But for us, we probably won't be out when it's too hot anyway. 
After spending quite some times in the playground, we hit the walking/runing/biking trail. It's a very nice trail for biking with small kids. They rode around the trail along the baseball fields. Pretty good work out for a nice afternoon. The Sun started to come down and the temp cooled down pretty quickly. So it's time to head home.

I had to laugh...when I first saw the pictures I thought, "Wow, they finally planted grass on the playground at Central Park!" I was referring to the one in NYC, of course--which is on cement. Makes me wonder how many kids broke their arms in that place over the years.
Pizza in the Park sounds like a great idea for a family tradition!
