New Parks, New Restaurants

We have been trying to find new places to hang out up here in North Las Vegas - we had so many favorite parks at our old house, and we almost always ran into someone we knew... I'm missing that. I feel so anonymous up here - sometimes it's nice to not worry about running into someone at Target or Costco while your hair is a mess, but we had quite the community down in the SW.... sigh.

We have started using google maps to show us a new park each time we go out, and we try not to get lost while we find a place to play. This park off of Aliante is awesome! I think it's called Aliante Discovery Park but we are calling it the dinosaur park. It has ponds with turtles and ducks, a splash pad, sand area complete with dinosaur bones and eggs, and a playground.

Now to find some new restaurants... we have Cafe Rio figured out, and we found a Thrifty ice cream store (childhood memories! Chocolate Malted Crunch is the best!) but not much else. Maybe this is a good time to stop eating out so much...
