Two Parks in One Day...

Tuesday, October 22, 2013 Hayden and Bailey were on their Fall Break from school. They had come to visit as part of their break. This was the perfect opportunity to take them to Yuko-En in Georgetown, Kentucky.  I had never walked through this pretty park even though I drive past it often.  Claude had been through it several times with board groups that he sits on. 

Georgetown has a sister city in Japan. There is a lot of connection between the two cities. Yuko-En was created as a tribute to the relationship between these cities. It is a beautiful park with a Japanese theme. The Mini's loved their time there. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of our visit to Yuko-En.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This last picture is Bailey in a little covered spot on the trail through the park. I asked her to sit inside and look like she was thinking. She put her fingers up to her temples and tapped just like "think, think, think".  Andie and I got a good chuckle out of that. I was going for a pensive look and she was literal in acting out my request. Love it!

After visit Yuko-En we picked up Papa and took the Mini's and Andie to Fava's to have 'Frickles'. This is a fried pickle appetizer that Claude and I love. The Mini's really love dill pickles and we have always felt they would enjoy Frickles. They did.

After taking Papa home we still had some good daylight for another park.  The Mini's love Brookings Park in Georgetown so we visited it.  There is a neat twirling thing that they love. Between Andie and Claude starting their turning, both kids got lots of spins on this fun thing. Check out Bailey's cool sneakers.

 

 

Well, the adults were worn out and the kids were happy.  Enjoyed this year's Fall Break.
