Arizona Falls Park

On Sunday we decided to have an afternoon outing to Arizona Falls Park. I had never heard of it before and Rob said that it was new since I left for college. We both though it was going to be a nice park with a waterfall where the kids could run around on the grass and we could enjoy sitting on a blanket near the falls. We got all packed up and were very disappointed by what we found when we got there. It is an urban park of all concert and the waterfalls were made up of canal water. Apparently the land there naturally slopes downward, so they decided to put in scenic waterfalls for people to enjoy. There were actually couples making out there. It was kind of cool, but the smell of canal water would not make me want to make out with my date.
The kids did enjoy seeing the loud waterfalls. Jacob was scared of them and we had to coax him near the fence, but London and Joseph were both totally in to it. We were only there for about 30 min, but I did manage to get some good pictures.

Needless to say, we will do a little more research before we head out for our next afternoon adventure.

Jacob looks so old!!! What are you feeding him?!?

The pictures make it look fun, though. Hopefully the kids didn't notice the couples. I once asked a couple to take it across the park where the kids weren't playing. They were so embarrassed they left. Ha!
