I love the parks & rec here in Beaverton. They always have fun activities for families and even better they are always free! This summer they had what they call "Party at the Park". It is a huge even for families at one of the bigger parks. Its actually close to Nike World Headquarters.(which I hope to take a tour of sometime before we move away) Our stake and the missionaries provides all the volunteers for the event. Its lots of fun.
Another event we went to was "Truck Day". At one of the rec centers they have every kind of truck you could think of come, park in the parking lot, and let the kids play with them. The kids really can go inside, climb on to, and do what ever they want in them. They even give out ear plugs because there is a lot of horn honking going on. The boys had so much fun. Their favorites: the monster truck, the McDonald's semi truck filled with happy meal toys (they let the kids climb in and take one), the bread truck (they were passing out little loafs of bread and cookies, and the hummer limo (they got to run up and down jumping from couch to couch).
My boys are suckers for face painting. It seems like they have this at every event and they wanted it every time.
Another cool event they do each summer is "picnic at the park". The city has different parks through the summer were they provided dinner for anyone that comes, has a band come and play, and has fun activities for kids do to.
They had so many more activities that we love and will be sad to miss next year. We love THPRD!!!!
