Good Morning. Happy National Eat Your Vegetables Day. I heard the tomato invited the cucumber, carrot, and lettuce to its annual vegetable day bash. The only smart one was the head of lettuce, who brought along a suitcase. They wanted to be able to leaf at any moment! 🥬🧳🤣

Summer Parks ~ Featuring One Park Every Week

🌳🛝 A place of endless fun, the new playground at Plum Valley Park in Highlands Ranch will be a family favorite! It stands apart with its adorable play structure for crawlers and early walkers, while keeping in mind the big kids and their love for challenge and play. Large trees next to the playground shade some of the equipment and seating, providing a comfortable spot for everyone. The playground boasts a high structure with a zipline, multi-level platforms, five slides, a rope maze, and a chair-shaped swing on rubber surfacing. For added fun, there are musical instruments and a ground-floor tic-tac-toe game. The playground also features two traditional belt swings, two baby swings, and one chair swing. With an eye-catching structure adorned with the park's name, a basketball court, a large grass field, and shaded benches, Plum Valley Park has something for all ages to enjoy!
