Cooling Off

Adam decided he needed to do more than wade in the Franklin Park stream. He needed a cooling shower in the waterfall.
 

Fairy Sighting

I caught this fairy coming out of her tree home in Franklin Park. We don't know why the tree is cut like this but the kids enjoy it.
 

Poetry Walk

The Johnson County Library posted these signs with poetry by Kansas City writers in Franklin Park. You take a self-guided tour of 35 poems with art on each sign and a QR code that when scanned provides a recording of the work by the author. Nice way to bring poetry to the masses who utilize the park.

 

Coy and Pensive

Adam was giving me his cute look while Vala gazed thoughtfully into the distance.

Park Music

 

Nice that they provide the music to go with the instruments in Franklin Park.

 

Toddler Rock Climbing

 Lowell mastered climbing this wall at the playground on the second try. She's fearless. You get to go down the slide once you reach the top.

Walk and Read

Vala and I took a trip through the Johnson County Library Walk and Read in Franklin Park. Two stories were posted around the path. You could read one in one direction and then turn around and read another one. Vala listened to Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star but went to sleep before we could read Be a Star, Wonder Woman!
