After voting we stopped by the park playground and let the children run around and have some fun. I really like this playground equipment. It is well thought out and it's grouped according to ages. The only downer was that the swings were in the sun and too hot to use.
We will have to come back when it is cooler or when the swings are in the shade.
It would be so neat if we had a swing set or a tire swing, but the kids don't seem too interested in the idea of a tire swing.
I think if the tire swing was going to be hanging from a tree limb it would be more appealing, but the trees around here all grow very tall... no side branches for a swing. A tire hanging from a garage support is just not that cool.
The slide was not too warm and Jaidan, with a little help from Mom, made it down the slide with no trouble.
He was very pleased with himself because, all by himself, he could make it up and down the stairs, climb up the climbing ramp, run on the gangway, and then ring the bell. He was a happy little boy.
Tristan and Rhiannon had more fun on the equipment for the older kids.
Tristan climbed up a rock climbing wall and seemed to like the view from the top of the slide.
Rhiannon followed her big brother and he was there to help her out.
It was a bit hot so we didn't stay too long and left for home and lunch. Then Rhiannon worked very hard and helped me rake up leaves on a path. She is so sweet. Tristan and Rhiannon helped with feeding the chickens and collecting eggs.
Trying to make sure they didn't get sunburned, mosquito bitten or in the poison oak did take a bit of the fun out of things, but we will adjust. I'm sure it is more stressful for the adults than the kids.
