River's Up

This is the park in Bellevue where the kids and I often go in the summer.  On the climber, there is a slide completely submerged. The wiggly yellow line is a hand-over-hand piece of play equipment.  Today - it's just for ducks.

These ducks are perched on a picnic table, where we like to eat our sandwiches from Twisted Sister. 

The reason this park is a favorite is because there is no flood wall and the river and the boats are up close and personal.  This is the down side of that.

There were so many people at the riverfront today, both here and in Newport.  I wondered whether there was something special going on, but I think that families were just happy to be out in the sunshine.
