Hanging with the family at Rhode's Park!

We had an absolute blast on Sunday, August 18th hanging with the Wunschel clan at a location that can only be classified as a family secret - Rhode's Park.  It's a little clearing hidden along a creek in cornfields outside of Monroe.  I have so many memories of summer days spent at the park with my Grandma Selma and Grandpa Pete, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Lots of great pictures from the 80's of us at the park in our photo books!  :)

The next generation of kiddos had fun running around the park just like we used to.

The swings from the tree were a big hit!


And of course the little bridge across the creek.  I would link you to the video of me taking a digger on the bridge circa 1988, but there was no Youtube back then!  :)  So here's Nate waving on his walk across it.  (The bridge seemed so much bigger when I was little!)
Kenz, Mads, Nate & Gavin hanging out and watching the activities!
Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Marie with their stateside grandkiddos!
The tire swing was super fun, too.  Especially when the kids figured out that if the tire was going one direction and the regular swing came at them the other direction you could have some near misses that made for lots of giggles!

This picture is too awesome - the boys!  They look like they might get into some shenanigans!  :)
We had so much fun with the extended Wunschel crew!!  Maybe we can get down to the park again next year!  What do you guys think?
