Girls day at Alderbrook Park

The girls and I spent an awesome day together with two of our favorite families from school. Of the three families, four of our girls have summer birthdays, and one of them recently moved to Eastern Oregon (sniff, sniff)... So to celebrate, and have some rare time with our friends who moved, we planned a day of fun at Alderbrook Park in Battleground. It is the most amazing place. A private park with entrance fee, but that fee includes mini golf, a train, disc golf, all kinds of field sports, multiple play structures and bounce houses, a lake with paddle boats, swimming pool, AND (possibly for my girls, the ultimate activity), a creek the goes around the property where the kids can tromp through tunnels, under bridges and hike around to their heart's content. Add in lots of shade trees where we parked our camp chairs, coolers, blankets, and it made for a day of PERFECTION. Even withe 104 degree heat, there was enough shade and water sports to make it the best day ever. The kids had free rein of the place, and we just made sure they had a buddy and knew where home base was. Super fun with my big kids! I can't wait to bring my whole family back here. SO MUCH FUN.

My girls out on their own!
