decided to head to this park that megan fas had her 2nd (?) birthday at a few years ago.

dennis the menace park, downey

[we saw a plaque on the way out that mentioned this park being built by the 'dennis the menace committee 1958-1966' or something like that...so i suppose years ago maybe it was themed appropriately. not so much anymore.]

• location: 3.5 stars (have to hop 3 fwys to get here, but it's really not far. parking lot is a ways off, but there's plenty of benches in the shade.]
• fun-factor: 4 stars (it helped that a group of boys showed up to play after 45 min, because our boys were getting tired of each other!)

umm...i had trouble staying on this l'il dinosaur. i kept sliding off.

i had to grab onto dashiell's legs to prevent it! =P
then i got wise and wedged my legs in there.

with only 5 min before we were leaving...they had a sweet, quiet moment next to each other

[yes, just for a moment!]

[see excalibur in the rock!? dashiell wanted to know why it was there!]
