The Big Metal Slide at Schmidt Lake Park

The metal slide is great for a family train!

I just wanted to talk for a minute about the big metal slide at Schmidt Lake Park.  I think its really cool and you can tell it was custom made for this park and you just don't see that too much.  It seems that all park equipment is kind of prefabricated and I like how this slide is so long and fits right into the hillside.

View at the top of the slide

Its kind of a long slide and it overlooks the hillside and the lake, it has nice sunsets and its worth a look if you have kids. Also in the winter it turns into a classic sledding run as a jump always gets made at the bottom. The rest of the park is nice, but the slide really makes it a good park.

Get up early and watch the sun rise over the lakes

You wont regret it.

Slip n Slide

Now that summer is upon us its time for summer fun. I suggest the slip n' slide. I shouldn't have to explain much about it except that you need a hill, water and a slippery surface. Its fun for all ages. Heres a fun video of my friends and I and our slip n slide in Las Vegas back in 2007!



Yes it was as fun as it looks. As always be safe!

Family Video

Living here in Plymouth over the last 20 years I have often lamented our current lack of video rental stores. In the old days right here in our own town we had video update, blockbuster video, hollywood video etc..., man we had it all. Then along came netflix and redbox and with in a few short years: POOF! all video stores gone! Like dust in the wind.  And don't get me wrong redbox is convenient, and cheap, but they also have NO selection, and since half of our year is spent in temperatures below 32 degrees, it would be hard to browse their selection even if they had one since they are all outdoors on a street corner!
So these developments left me yearning for the days where you could cruise down to blockbuster on a friday night and browse around through hundreds of movies both new and old checking out what was in and what looked like a good pick up! Sadly I figured those days were gone forever, and I should just let 'em go. But wait, could it be that a new video store has opened in New Hope?? Yes my friends I am here to tell you that "Family Video" is now open in New Hope. and it is fantastic.
Family Video is great, they give you a free tour of the store on your first visit, they offer tons of coupons, there prices are very competitive (compared to redbox and online streaming services), and wait, what? kids movie are free?? YES. There is an entire section of completely free kids movies, no questions asked. You could just go there and check out free kids movies all year long and they would have not problem with that!
Its not just a video store, but its connected with a pizza place and there is a window that connects the two stores, so you could walk out with movies and pizza! Also if you were at home and you had some movies that you needed to return, you could order pizza and the pizza guy will take your movies back for you.
Anyways, enough said. I am glad to have Family video in the community.
