Recess Event 'Rocks' Lakewood Park

Jordan's Family Foundation's second-annual event was a big success — despite the looming thunderstorm.

At least a couple thousand people braved threatening skies — and an eventual thunderstorm — to turn  into a giant playland for Sunday afternoon's Recess Rocks event.

The activity-based event feature dozens of booths for children and families to stretch their legs, get some exercise, play a few sports and learn about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
