A morning in the park

The have re-vamped the park in Montrose and l have to say what a change it has made.There had been a story in the local newspaper. As it was a clear, but cool morning we thought we would make the most of it and check out this new park. We were very impressed and the kids took off to explore as soon as we got there.

As it was a public holiday there were a lot of kids and their parents there checking out the new park.

Nathan had to check out the fire engine as the first thing to do. Here he is as a fire fighter. Watch out here he comes.

They had someone in with some real artistic skills and painted some of the "shops" at the park. To make it look like some of the little shops in the main st of Montrose. Very nice l must say and beats the graffiti.

One of the paintings.



yum chocolates. (there is a great little chocolate shop in Montrose).



Tahlia down the slide.

It was rather hard to keep an eye on both kids at the same time. They both kept going seperate ways and l felt l certainly needed an extra pairs of eyes. But there was just too many things to try out and why stop when there is too much to do.

Nathan even had time to stop and "sell" me some chocolates.. Ah just what the dr ordered.





This bridge was a tricky one and needed a lot of concentration. Nate had one episode where his leg went down one of the holes. He needed mummy to help get him out but he went back and made it thru again and again. What a little trooper.


I loved the background behind this slide of the forest. The artists have done a super job.

Now a test to see who could go higher and faster at the same time.

Once we took this photo the weather turned cold and we had been there for about an hour so thought it was time to go home and get some lunch and wait for daddy to come home from his hike. Just as well too as soon as we got in the car it rained.

We stopped in the bakery on the way home and the roads were very wet and it seems it had been raining for some time down the mountains. Anyone who is near Montrose should check this park out. Even the BIG kids at heart will love it. There are also little picnic tables in the bush setting to have a picnic or a warm drink.
