A Visit to Seneca Lake State Park

It was extremely hot while we were in Geneva, so we hopped in the car for a quick drive to Seneca Lake State Park. The park has a lot of docks, a gorgeous walking path, and a frisbee golf course. It also has this amazing sprayground:

The boys played on the splash pad for quite some time, and we sat under a shaded pavilion. I love these splash pads and wish we had one closer to home - there is no standing water so no chance of drowning, which makes them cheaper to run than a municipal pool. They serve the cooling-off purpose well, too, and are wonderful for the little guys.

We all had some ice cream and the boys ran over to the regular playground for some fun. The regular playground was really impressive - it had a lot of really cool features. There was a little car that moved along a track when kids turned a handle - and rocking balance beams, climbing structures, spinners, and more.

Matt is getting really strong on the playground and can cross the monkey bars and rings from one side to the other. He really liked the more challenging climbing features of the playground! Nolan had a blast on the spinners and the tire swing - this was a wonderful place to burn off some little boy energy!
