The Playground






Here are some pics of the playground at our compound. This is a favorite attraction for the girls. We usually go at least 4 or 5 times a week. It's small, but we usually have it to ourselves when we go. This particular day was a little bit busier than usual, but the girls like watching the older kids and learning new things. They now like to slide down on their belly and try to climb up the slides instead of going down them -- just like the big kids do. They also love these springy things -- I have no idea what the real name is. It has a big spring and when you rock on it, it goes back and forth.

We always go with our beach buckets and shovels in hand since there is plenty of sand to play in. They can transfer sand from one bucket to another for large amounts of time. :-)

And they love the swings. The swings don't have the baby strap across them, so they make Mom a little nervous, but I guess that comes with the job.

They are called - oh snap - the word just left me. They have a name - surely they have a name.

you mean there might be another name?? maybe 'springy thingies'? making mom nervous at the playground...yes, seems to go with the job. Maybe so we can justify the gray hairs that come with age (for some of us anyway) :)
