We decided to visit the tried and true Prince Charles Park wading pool. I LOVE THIS PARK! We used to live only a few blocks away and now I miss being so close to it.
Parking is found all around it and is generally not a problem. There are tons of trees and lots of shade throughout the day. There are 5? picnic tables between the wading pool and the playground for those who choose to pack a lunch. Tons of swings(and even more baby swings), lots of green space for running around, a great playground, washrooms and of course the wading pool make this park a definite jewel for parents of toddlers & preschoolers in Kamloops.
We can often be found there:)
Arden and I visited Albert McGowan spray park up on Summit. Which lasted all of about 3 minutes before he decided that he would get way too wet and not in a good way thus took off to the park.
This park was filled with school age kids and seems like a great place for them. As for the preschoolers and toddlers um not so much. I don’t think we will be heading back there until the kids are much bigger.
The park is quite large and there is not a lot of shade to be found. The playground was fun and well equipped – there are four swings which(in the summer time) is never enough. We did manage to go for a bit of a wander down to the large baseball field at the back of the park and there are trees along the sides which would be perfect for a game of tag or hide and seek.

This year, Pro X will be producing Shakespeare
We have all done it, and will probably do it again the next time we plan a birthday party for one of our kids, found ourselves walking up and down the aisles of the dollar store searching for the perfect goody bag items that won’t break the bank. Kids love birthday parties and one of the things that they love about them is the inevitable ‘loot bag’. But a loot bag can be fun and exciting without being chock full of candy and sweets.
The Bag
There is always the old stand-by of a stack of paper bags lain out on a table filled with stickers and markers. Let the kids decorate and make their own – it’s a great idea that makes the goody bag into an activity – perfect – but boring. Jazz it up and make your paper bags into animals by adding faces and legs, build a puppet or paper bag princesses with triangles of pink paper and crowns.
We saw a commercial a few nights ago for this salsa. I wrote down the recipe and made it – it is SO good. And perfect for summer! Note: I didn’t blanch my tomatoes I just chopped em!
