Camperdown Country Park

A few weeks ago we attempted to go to a Food and Flower Festival up in Dundee at a place called Camperdown Country Park. We didn’t bring cash and their ticket system would not take our bank card (they use a “chip and pin” system here and some places are not equipped for swipe cards) so we weren’t able to get in. After being super frustrated for a few minutes, we realized that there was a sign that said, “High Adventure Play Area” with an arrow pointing down the hill. So off we went. We discovered the largest playground we have ever seen!! It is ginormous. Imagine a big park in L.A. and multiply it by 5. They also have a wildlife park right next to it. So that day we played for a bit but then had to head back. So we’ve been wanting to return ever since. The weather forecast said Saturday was going to be one of the last sunny days for quite some time so we loaded up on the train and headed into Dundee. The boys had a blast!!

While on the train, the boys looked so cute in the light coming in the window that I decided to snap their pictures. When I first told Eli to smile, this is what he did! Stinker!!

Then Daddy started being goofy and this was his response. SO CUTE.

So we finally arrived at the park and the boys had tons of fun. I love this shot of my boys. All walking exactly  the same.  :)

After running around at the park, we headed over the wildlife center.

A wolf. Jayden was VERY excited about this one. They read a book about wolves at school and he has been talking about it EVER since.

A bear…WOW.  This particular one is a European Brown Bear.

This was a red bellied lemur. It was so cool to watch it jump from branch with lightning speed. Eli would laugh hysterically when it would move really quickly. He LOVED it.
