Springwater Park is set to close at the end of March.
This is because the government is a bunch of stupid idiots. That is the official reason. Anyhow, Regan and I took Emmett there this past weekend so he can enjoy the awesomeness while it lasts.
There are several groups that have started some initiatives to try and save the park, as I've written about before. We're hopeful that this will work and the park and all the animals will remain as they are. We're hopeful but not necessarily optimistic.
While it lasts we're going to prop our son up next to a bear, a grey wolf, an albino raccoon, and a wild turkey and take some pictures. Then we'll bring the photos out when he's older, along with the ones of him at an independent book store and we'll explain to him about all the exotic things we once had - parks and bookstores - and he will perhaps be amazed, but will most likely not care.
