Lagoon Valley Park

At the start of the summer, I had this brilliant idea to try to get the kids out of the house and to different parks, trails, etc. It really is a fun idea, although in all honestly, it hasn't been executed as well as initially planned.

This is partly due to the fact that our first attempt at a nature walk/hike was not as great as I thought it would be. We went out to a park on the edge of Vacaville where we had heard there were trails to walk. We packed up a lunch, a bunch of waters, and the stroller and took off. When we got there, we found that none of the paths welcomed any sort of shade, and it was already starting to get hot out!

The kids and I decided to take the loop around the resevoir, which is about a 2 mile walk. David and I were particularly excited about our adventure! Well, we made it about 1/3 of a mile before most of the kids were tired, or hot, or grumpy, or a combination of them all. We turned around and made it back to the car, drove to a nice shaded little park ares where we ate and played for a bit.

It was fun to get out with the kids and go somewhere new! Lesson learned: go on hikes/walks earlier in the morning!!!














































This rock was so cool! Looked like a face (and crying because someone poured water on an eye)
























Joe thought this large rock looked like a Humpback Whale
