Potholes State Park

Summer is not quite going away yet, so we headed down south of Moses Lake yesterday to do some exploring. We were heading to a wildlife refuge mostly, but along the way I saw a turnoff for Potholes State Park.
Since I enjoy exploring, we detoured in to have a look around. Quickly, my playground junkie kids spotted a nice, huge, new-looking piece of equipment. The whining began. Eventually we relented to let them "play for a few minutes".
The park was pretty and the weather was 70-ish degrees. We found lots of wide open space with green lawn and pretty trees. If I had a boat, this would be a really fun place to put in and head up to explore the Pothole lakes to the northwest.
Signs posed a FAQ including "Why are there so many mosquitoes?", which wasn't a concern for us but hey, it's nearing the end of September.
OK, now for some photos!

Cheeeeeeeeese! Looks like he wore his crash pants . . .


The joy of going down himself!


He's freaking out not because the slide was so high but because he wanted to go down himself. Ah, the joys of being 2.


Like I said, pretty grass and trees along the reservoir.
