Today is our 16th anniversary. My wife and I had planned to spend it in Las Vegas. Instead we ended up picnic ing at Fountain Hills. Weather was beautiful....breezy. Perfect for everything, except the Fountain :o Apparently, when the wind is 10mph or higher the Fountain shuts down automatically. :( That being said we still had a lovely time. (Guess that is a sign of old age, when you can sit at a park and say you had a good time :lol: ). Walked the perimeter. All sidewalk. Ducks and coots were the main wildlife. Loved the statues the ringed the park. Nice way to spend the day with my better half :D

This is definitely a neighborhood hike. Good thing I was in the neighborhood! I did the Lake Overlook Trail followed by two laps around the lake.
