Gorilla Park

Down the bike trail from our house is a little park with just one swing and two big gorilla statues. This used to be across from a bunch of AK Housing apartments, which were all recently torn down. Any time we drive down C Street, Mason talks about the excavators, and I've been promising him to go see them for weeks.

Today after breakfast all five of us (three people and two pups) went for a walk. Here's how Mason describes how to get to "gorilla park". Go down street, over bridge, by the water, by the other bridge, under the tunnel, over next bridge and there they are!

We had a lot of fun on the tire swing and of course walking around the excavators and the loader. Mason never ceases to amaze me with his knowledge and memory of construction equipment. He knows all the correct terms, and will absolutely correct you if you call something the wrong name.
