Vivian Park

This park is one of my favorites from childhood--the views of the mountains are spectacular and kids under 12 can fish and will usually catch a fish very quickly. Unfortunately, right as the fishing poles came out, so did the thunderstorm and we had to run for our car. At least the kids got to play at the playground and we enjoyed a nice picnic dinner before the storm.






During our vacation, Caitlin suddenly developed a fear of thunderstorms. Any time she heard a loud sound outside, she would come running to me and say she was scared of the thunder. Rachel attempted to describe why Caitlin was upset to her Aunt Jana when she said, "Caitlin has a pathological fear of thunder." We thought it was a cute description of Caitlin's pathological condition.
