Bell Park

I remember going to this sweet flower-filled park when I was a little girl. We lived in a wonderful bungalow a few streets over, and my mom would walk me over to Bell Park to cross the bridge, skip rocks in the little pond and listen to the birds.

It's hard to believe the park is still there. When I was in grad school, I remember picnics and going there to catch up on my reading. Last time I got to visit was on a rainy November day for the Urban Dare ~ Stacey and I had to toss beanbags at a target before moving on to the next dare at Hermann Park. I was glad to see it again.

Now I look forward to having picnics there with Sean and Lyle, to showing my bub a little oasis in the big city, a place to just be. We need more places like that :)
