Squire Park http://www.ci.westminster.co.us/ParksRec/Parks/ParkLocations/SquiresPark.aspx
This park is great. Very large and different play structures for all ages. A large grass area for running and soccer games. One of my favorites was the slide to Enter the park, parents can take the stairs and kids can take the slide too cute!
Hampshire Park a small nice park in a neighborhood. Nice play equpment but has some dangerous features, like the 2-3 ft drop off retaining wall... but, o.k.
Sensory Park tons of fun! http://www.ci.westminster.co.us/ParksRec/Parks/ParkLocations/SensoryPark.aspx
Especially for a child that is in a wheel chair or disabled. Very nice park for all kids! The only thing odd is that the 'parking' for this park is a parking lot for a business area, it is very hard to find on GPS. But, fun once you get there. Can not wait to go when there is no snow. Kids loved the sea-saw it seats 4 people!!!
Center Park (not to be confused with City park) is one of MY favorits. Love the soft turf play area, the ship play gym and musical things for the small kids and climbing wall for the toddler/older kids. Can not wait to have fun with the water features in the summer!

Getting Ready for Next Year
We have had a lot of changes recently. Moved due to hubby promotion, rented our home, adjusted from single family home to apartment living with kids. We do love the new area and are trying to go to a different park each week. But, now is for getting on a really good 'learning' schedule for next year! I want to incorporate our learning time into our daily activities. Like, maybe nutrition talk during snack time? Learning body parts during exercise/wiggle time. We will do a proverb a day according to the day of the week. I am so excited to get the learning/morning wall up for the new year! Also, my hubby is leaning more toward FULL home school w/out supplemental schooling in the public school system. I need to remember that anything is possible with Gods help! Lord please give me the patience to raise up my children according to your Word. I need patience, perseverance, kindness, slowness to anger, the ability to calm my tongue when I want to yell! :) :) I feel this can be done if I do stick to a schedule and get organized! There are so many options out there for curriculum that I am going to just use our school district or standard guidelines for what a pre-k and kinder should know and go from there. We have a great library and I am teaching Hannah to read so that should be fun! As far as the girls only being home-schooled, some may worry that they will not get 'outside' influence or be good 'socially'??? I am sure that will not happen, I do take them out in public. Also, AWANA is a great club for learning and interacting, weekly story time at the Library w/ crafts, Sunday School, MOPS twice a month and outings. Also, extra curricular activities; the girls will each have a dance class this coming semester, Hannah in Ballet, and Sarah in pre-dance. Well, this kind of went off on a tangent.... I was just 'writting' since it had been a while! :) Now to put all these plans into action!!!!
