Memorial Day / Falls Park on the Reedy





Finally, we walked back the two blocks to this park. The bridge is the only one of its kind in the US. I (Rita) didn't like standing still on it - it moved too much. There is paths to walk, gardens to see, and it you want to you can wade / swim in the river. Steve and I didn't think a river running through a city could be that clean to go wading and swimming it, but there were a lot of people doing it. It was a warm day.

Memorial Day / The Children's Garden




After finding the Mice on Main we walked four more blocks down to the Reedy River. There is a walk way along it. We first walked two more blocks to The Children's Garden. It is just a nice way to spruce up an overpass. This garden is under a bridge. It has Winnie the Pooh, Rabbit, and Owl (at the top of the pole in the first picture). It also has the Secret Garden, a Gingerbread House, the ABC with a flower for each letter, and lots of plants and flowers.

Memorial Day / Mice on Main




Mice on Main in Greenville, South Carolina idea was taken from the book "Good Night Moon". In the book on every other page (the colored pages) is a very little mouse to find. There are 9 mice to find on Main St. in Greenville. We found all nine with the help of another family that had the camera aimed on a mouse. We then asked is they had found mouse number 4, as we couldn't find it. Here we has passed the mouse 3 times and didn't see it. By the way, Main St. in Greenville is a beautiful shade covered street, wonderful to walk.

Baseball Game



On Friday night we went to the Greenville Drive baseball game. Cryovac, where Steve works, has family picnics. For the last two years they have gone to a Drive game. Their mascot is Reedy Ribbit, named after the Reedy River which runs through Greenville.
