Teddy Bear Park...

OK, While on a recent vacation to MN my friend Marisa brought Camryn, Clare, her friend Eden & me to this really COOL park. Once I saw it I just RAVED about it, so much so that I decided I should do a post about it. It would be a dream come true if someone down my way would build a park like this near us! But since I doubt that will happen any time soon I can just dream! (= First off the park is located in downtown Stillwater, about an hour outside St Paul, in what looks like the side of a mountain. I think they call it bluffs, what do I know, I am a native Floridian. LOL! This is one COOL park! I took as many pictures while we were there & researched it once we got home. It is fittingly called Teddy Bear Park because children can never have TOO many Teddy Bears! There is this HUGE one near the entrance that reminds me SO much of the Teddy Bear from in front of the Children's Hospital at St Mary's. The adjoining hospital to where our quads were born. I think they got it from FAO Schwartz. You know the coolest toy store ever! It's BIG & bronze! Has plenty of room on it's lap for many a child to sit & pose for a picture! Trust me! We took MANY a picture! (= After taking a walk around I found this plaque about how the park came to be. A family must have donated a LOT of money to have this park built for the children of Stillwater. COOL beans! What a nice thing to do for the children! They spared NO expense. There are man made tree houses, a replica bridge to match the one they have in town, a zip line, cliffs to climb on and TONS of cool play areas designed like trains & boats. They say the park is designed for children from the age of 6 months to 7 years. Heck I am no longer a kid but enjoyed it just the same! They even have a building to house parties in! COOL huh!? The girls LOVED every part of this place! I made sure to get as many pictures that I could. My picture do not even come close to capturing this park at it's best! You really need to check out their website. Here is a picture of the girls before we left! Aren't they adorable? Always posing for a camera! (=If you are ever in the neighborhood you should definitely check out...
