waterfront park

we finally made it to Salem. My dad was teaching classes that day so we went out to the studio to surprise him. When we got there we were the ones that were surprised because my mom just happened to be there as well. We got a two for one deal. We visited for awhile before heading home and getting ready for my nieces birthday party. The party started at the best local pizza place called Walrey's Pizza. We had dinner there and then went over the bridge to waterfront park for cake and presents. Bay thought it was great to be able to run around and play with grandpa, daddy and his cousin.

Papa or grandpa lee always loves to play with his grandkids
Auntie Amy couldn't get enough of holding little Bay. Don't you love the hat?
Here is what the bridge looks like looking from one end to another.
We went to the waterfront park a couple of times during our visit. One evening after dinner we went down to the other side of the park and walked across the old railroad bridge. The bridge was changed from a railroad bridge which is no longer in service to a pedestrian bridge. They did a great job renovating it and making it safe and enjoyable for the public,the best part was the beautiful view of the river.

It was really fun to see how excited Bay was to play on the playground equipment. I got some really good photo's of him using Dad's camera. I will have to get you copies!

I'm so glad you guys got to be here to celebrate Kira's birthday! You're right--Walery's is the best (cardboard) pizza. We'll have to check out the new ped bridge in Salem. I didn't know it was finished. What a beautiful photo of the river.
