Let Their Lights Shine at Countryside Park!
You know those moments when you see your child’s eyes go wide as their imagination kicks in? That was what we experienced the first time we went to Countryside Park in Westminster! “I’m the Captain!” “I’ll go check the lighthouse!” “Watch out for pirates!” The theme is so well done that it’s almost impossible not to get straight into character.

This Louisville Park Has a Bit of Everything!
I’ll be honest, I don’t enjoy splash pad parks that much as a parent. I think one of the girls slipped once and maybe I am carrying some irrational fears about the slippery concrete? I’m not sure. It’s also a lot more to plan for…you can’t just jump in the car and go…towels…wet car seats… Anyone else with me? I realized though that I was being kind of a baby about it so I promised the girls we’d find one. We ended up that day at Louisville Community Park and it was a great place to spend a couple hours with friends! Address: 955 Bella Vista Dr, Louisville, CO 80027…

3 Reasons to Check Out This School Playground in Arvada!
The other day I posed a question to friends about who has the best elementary school playground and Sierra Elementary was one of the first to come up.

The girls and I were instantly in awe of the playground structures, rainbow sun catchers and the overall size of the play area. Obstacle Course Fun! For most of the time we were there, the kids designed and ran…
