HAND Park
In the car on the way to HAND Park, I told Lucy we were going to a park by the name of HAND Park, and I did a little jazz hand at her for flair. She smiled and said, "Mom, you know what would be so silly? If we called it toe park instead!" So off we went to toe park.

Parnell Park and Edgewood Park
Folks, we are getting close to reaching our goal! And it is exciting! It really is, actually. On our way home from the parks we went to yesterday we passed a park that we frequent in our "normal" park-going life and Lucy asked if we could go there. I told her I promised that as soon as we finished this park challenge she could pick whatever park she wanted and we would go. It's time to go to the park - any park! - because we want to, not because we must. But, this has been great fun this summer and I think if I didn't force the sign picture on them (what kind of mother would I be if I didn't?!) it wouldn't be an issue at all. Lucy DID stage a sit down (in her carseat) at Edgewood Park and refused to get out of the car if I made her take a picture by the sign. It's amazing what fruit snacks will do...
PARNELL PARK
I was - and still am - confused. When we got there, at least where I thought the park was, there was no playground equipment. I found the picnic tables, the park benches and the basketball court they said would be there, but no playground equipment. We even walked along Burroughs Creek Trail which I thought might lead us to some slides and swings, but to no avail. So we found a cool striped feather and played on the bridge for a while and we will call that good. If someone figures out where there is playground equipment let me know and we will be there. Maybe.
EDGEWOOD PARK
There's a beautiful wooded area between the playground at the East Lawrence Center and the playground we went to further to the south. And there's Lucy dragging a stick...at least she wasn't swinging it at her sister. Win!

Clinton Lake Park and Clinton Lake Leased Area
CLINTON LAKE LEASED AREA
This is a 1,500-acre area that is part of a Master Plan for Lawrence situated east of the Clinton Lake dam; it encompasses lots of different areas but we chose to visit the dog park, technically known as the "Mutt Run."
