Mrs. Osburn's Favorite place

As you look around my favorite place, you see nothing but nature. Trees are shading the swingset and slide that I enjoy playing on. As I swing on the swing set, I stretch my foot out to touch the green leaves of a huge oak tree. Just beyond the swings is a rock firepit that is a perfect place to enjoy hot dogs and marshmellows. Many afternoons have been spent here relaxing on a blanket, watching the clouds float through the sky. I enjoy hearing the laughter of my son and husband running through the wooded area, playing hide and seek. Who could ask for a more relaxing place to be!

This place that I am describing is a park near Newton, Kansas. It is a county park that I have been going to for close to 10 years and is actually the place that my husband asked me to marry him. My special place describes my personality well because I love to relax and enjoy my surroundings. I also love spending time with my family in a fun, kid oriented place.
