Coolest Park in Arlington/McLean

So we've been introduced to the coolest park we've ever been to without having to pay for admission. It's called Clemyjontri Park in McLean, VA. (The lady who funded the park and donated the land named it after her kids: Carolyn (CL), Emily (EMY), Jon (JON), and Patrina (TRI).) When we drove up to it it looked like a mini amusement park. It is huge! The kids had a great time. It's about a 20 minute drive from where we live, but it's well worth the trip.

This is only about a third of the full size of the park.

Here is another third of the park. The panels to the right of Hailey are part of a kid size maze.

We were going to come to the park a day earlier, but Mia got crazy that evening in the mall and tripped into the corner of a trash bin and got a nearly one inch cut on her forehead. No stitches luckily, but she still looked like massive head-wound Harry. (The bandage and tapes are off now--she looks much better.)

Here are the girls with a couple of little friends they made for the day.

Fun times!
