Saturday Walk to Dry Creek Park

Next to our house we have a 10 acre park that is somewhat a hidden gem. It is a public park that they have made into a Frisbee golf course. It has overgrown trees and brush, a stream, a few bridges, walking paths, a swing set and a pavilion. It doesn't appear that they keep the park "groomed". It just pretty much grows wild, which I love because it reminds me of growing up in New Hampshire where nature was left to its own. It is a rare thing to find in the middle of a desert and we LOVE it! We actually discovered this park last year when we were house shopping. There was one house we were interested in that backed this park, but it wasn't the right house for us. Although shortly after we saw that house, we found the house that we ended up buying, and it is located on the other side of the park. It does not back to it, but it's across the street from our neighborhood. On Saturday the weather was beautiful, so we packed Liam in the Bjorn and took a little walk down there. He absolutely loved being out and seeing nature.
