Pinehurst Park, Cloquet

Max and Cole had fun with their beach toys. Too bad we donated a shovel to Pinehurst Park.

On Tuesday, the boys and I met our friends Amanda and her two kids, Max and Lila, and Jess and her two kids, Ben and Grace, at Pinehurst Park in Cloquet. We had never been there before, but we will definitely go back! It is a manmade lake with a sand beach, kiddie waterslides, concessions, picnic tables, a huge playground, and grassy areas. We had a blast! Between the three of us moms we had six kids between 8 weeks and three years, so we were very busy keeping sunscreen on everyone and keeping track of everyone! We set up a tent in the shade for the three babies (two months, four months, and six months!) and took turns playing in the water with the big kids and rocking babies in the tent. We had fun, but it was a lot of work and hauling gear! We will return....but not TOO often. We need to recover from our first trip!
