Sunday Fun!!!

This morning we decided to take the boys to Imagination Station playground in Oconomowoc.  It is a very neat playground.  I had fun watching the boys enjoy themselves.  I too had fun, but was super hot-- the temp was in the 90's!!!  We stayed for an hour and decided to head out since both boys were as red as lobsters.

We weren't ready to head home so we headed over to Lapham Peak.  Not sure if you know this about me, but I am terrified of heights.  So why did I suggest this park?  Because I know Chris and the boys would love to climb the tower.  And they did... right up the stairs they went leaving mommy behind, per my request.

So why am I so afraid to climb this tower you ask--- well there are two reasons.  I hate feeling things sway.  It isn't so much that I am up high, I can handle that.  I can't handle swaying!  I also HATE open back stairs.  I just know I am going to miss the step and slide through the back and be hanging there.  Yes.... in my mind I fit through that tiny hole! 


So I am up two flights of stairs and I hear the boys having fun looking out into the distance.  I tell myself to get my big butt moving so I don't miss out on their experience.  I yell up to them-- How much further do I have to go?  Max being the sweetheart  that he is cheers me on and I get to the top!  I was so dang proud of myself, yet I couldn't let go of that railing.  Chris took our picture and we all enjoyed the view for several minutes.

We decided to head out on one of the trails.  Good thing I came prepared with my trusty flip-flop shoes ;)  We head down a million steps and we were at the bottom of the Kettle Moraine Forest.  Simply beautiful!  We walked around on the trail for about 30 minutes and decided to head back up the dreaded steps.

Overall we all had a blast today.  I am excited to go back and try more trails.  Good thing we bought our State Park pass today.  I plan to get out with the boys more often.  We all enjoy it, so we need to do more of it.
