This past weekend we found this wonderful park in Scottsdale. It is called McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. This park was so fun! It had a huge playground that was covered with a nice canopy. There were a lot of grassy areas with benches and tables. The kids had a great time at a playground designed like an old western scene. It had a jail, saloon, bank, grocery store, and other play ground equipment. Kelly even had a trail of little boys chasing him around. As one little boy was leaving, he said to his mom, "that is a fun dad!" I had to smile! Kelly is a fun dad!
This park also had a carousel and train that you could ride. Katelyn enjoyed some firsts. She had her first carousel and train ride. She also loved her first time in a swing!
At the end of it all we had fun sitting on a bench and having an ice cream cone. The kids did not want to leave. They were having such a fun time! This will definitely be one of our favorite spots! Kelly and I love to discover new things to do in this large valley! The next time we have visitors, we will probably have to take them here!

I'm so jealous that you guys went! We should make a trip out there soon and have a picnic. What a great example Kelly is to other kids on how dad's are supposed to be. That's awesome.
I can't imagine having the weather reach triple digits!!! Good thing you have access to a pool! Also, Happy Birthday...2 more years until you're 30 (like me!)...Yikes! Just kidding, you'll always look young!
You can tell that the kids really had a good time that day. What a great place to take a family. I wish I could've been there to share it with you--but it's nice to have the pictures to see how much fun you had.
You took some great pictures of your family! You guys are doing such a good job as parents...keep it up!!!
P.S. I told Patti she needs to get on with the blog thing. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
I just saw your comment on my blog and thought I would tell you that I just take pictures of my old pictures to post on my blog. Since I don't have a scanner it's the next best thing. Try it out...it's fun to post old stuff!
(In reply to your comments...) I loved your comment about the SWIKE team, to funny. I'm glad you like the Moulin Rouge soundtrack too. Freeman was all, "let's take that off our playlist..." I really like Ewan McGregor's singing in it. I'm excited to babysit Katelyn. I've been baby hungry(for a girl :) so maybe I'll get my quick fix. Have a great 28th birthday!
Love the pictures. The boys are so much like their dad and love adventure and Baby Kate is right in there HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM US!
I can't imagine how wonderful the weather is down there. Love you.
Oh how fun! What cute pictures you got! Your kids are really so beautiful! Love ya
