Cool New Playground!

Well, we've finally found our new favorite playground! My neighbor came over to visit yesterday and we were commiserating about the lack of decent parks/playgrounds in the area. She told me that she drives to this one because it's so toddler friendly (incidentally, the largest amount of discontent arises from the fact that we all desperately want our neighborhood park to be finished...and soon!!)

Anyway, we all wanted some extra air today so after getting a new battery for Dad's truck, having some rock chips fixed on it, spending some time in Home Depot, Chapters and Zellers, we stopped off at the park!

The moment we pulled into the car park Tink started hollering about "out, out" and yanking on her seat belt yelling, "Open! Open!"

I want a sea monster like this (especially the plastic part ;oP) in my back garden!

And a hippo.
...and a crocodile.



Me trying to surf on the crocodile.

A gleeful Elisabeth playing in and throwing around sand.

A play in three acts: Davey observes Tink digging in the sand wiith a little cup.

Persuading her to give him the little cup.

And regretting handing it over...

If we're going to get all the other water animals, we're going to need a boat too.

My poor hubby was a little cold.
I told him to go sit in the car.



Pleased as punch to have climbed on this post.




...maybe I don't want a hippo after all.
