A day at the park

Ok, so maybe it was just an evening, but we still had fun. Yesterday, Amy, Frank and I took Nicky to Nature Discovery Park in Aliante. It's also known as the dinosaur park.

Before we went to the playground we stopped by the pond and waterfall to see the ducks and other birds.






Then, we made our way over to the playground. Slides were our first stop.




I rode the big slides, but I hurt my butt my last time down. Amy hurt her knee her first run and didn't go again. They're fast, real tall and windy. Err, winded?








Oooh, dinosaur bones!




Next we were off to feed the ducks and geese





Ice Cream man!! Nicky got spongebob ice cream. He loved all the ice cream ads, and he was enthralled by the man in the truck. He kept saying, thank you, see you soon, and whatcha doing? He would've been happy as can be sitting there in front of the ice cream truck if we had let him.



After ice cream we played with bubbles and attempted to play baseball, but Nicky wanted to go back to the playground. He learned of the splash pad and wanted to play. We stripped him down and off he went.





He made a friend, he called him Tommy. That's one of his friend's names back in Chicago.














Like I said, before, we had lots of fun!

After the park, we went to Gordon Biersch for dinner. We tried the Czech Pilsner, and had Southwest Eggrolls to start, both were tasty. Frank had the Grilled Chicken & Avocado sandwich, flavorful, fresh and juicy. Amy had the Chicken Parmesan, a nicely done version. And I had Tuscan Chicken, pasta with tomatoes, basil, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. It was very good. We all agreed it was a great meal.

We returned home, Frank and Nicky went for a swim. Then, Amy and Nicky left so Frank and I could hit the hay, it was after 10 o'clock, we had a long day. We were pooped. I think Nicky might have been, too.
