two thumbs up for crescent park

Friday night we went to Moose Jaw to do some business and discovered Crescent Park downtown. We had just enough time to walk around and meet the resident moose family (not real) and pair of swans (real) and to decide that we absolutely had to go back the next day. So Saturday afternoon we drove out there again, this time with a bag of bread to share. For us this park is spectacular. It's small enough that by the time we were done there, we had reached the other side, but big enough that there was lots to discover. After we fed the swans and ducks we walked along the creek until we found a neat play area. The Great War memorial captured Scott's imagination and I liked the fountain. We watched more than a few bushy tailed squirrels go about their business and all the while we enjoyed the soft green grass. And I know I'm sounding like a scratched record, but the fall colours are beautiful.
