Pirate Ship Park

My sister Jenny came to visit with her family--Uncle John and George and Wesley. We were trying to decide what to do and my dad thought it would be fun to check out the new park at the Des Moines Field House. (Anything new in Des Moines is always exciting) We were anxious to see how great this new park was. It was a playground that looked like a pirate ship.

It was a nice new playground and there was hardly anyone else there on a beautiful sunny day. But the excitement of the new park quickly wore off and the boys were much more fascinated by the cement skate park nearby.

We had a fun time and were so glad we were able to enjoy the sun.

Yes, that's me trying to hang on to the "zipline".

Jenny's turn. (she had a little style with her pointed toes --must be from all that work on drill team)
