First Home Park - Waverly, IA

We were supposed to get Lincoln's one-year portraits done at JCPenney this afternoon, but 3 hours before our appointment he fell and conked his head and sported a nice purple bruise in the middle of his forehead.  So I rescheduled for later in the week.  Since it was such a beautiful day, I decided to take the kids to a park.  Today we went to First Home Park in Waverly.  We have been there before because it is located just on the other side of the hospital and is within easy walking distance of our house.

I'm not sure of the origin of the name, but First Home is a small neighborhood park close to the high school.  The play equipment is new and designed for ages 5-12.  Emily still likes climbing the rock steps and going down the slides.  She likes the "dinosaur bones", too.  Lincoln likes spinning the barrel and going down the slide with Mommy.  There are some swings and a basketball hoop, too.  There must be quite a few elementary-aged kids in the neighborhood because they are usually congregated there.  It was a bit confusing today because there apparently was another Emily and another Megan among them!
