Playground Lotto

This week we headed out to the brand new, nearby playground at the nature center. Wow, it was so much more than I was expecting, with a huge water feature running down a hill with rocks and waterfalls and a nice sized area at the bottom and top. The best thing? The kids are encouraged to play in it! There is also a hill and slide into a large sand area (with ropes at the top to climb up and down), mud painting, large logs to climb on, many trees stumps just the right distance from each other and a shelter building area with many big sticks for building, among other things. The kids had a great time with their friends there. Note to self - bring towels and a change of clothes in the future. Another bonus is that it is in well treed area - shade in the summer! It doesn't get much better that a cold water feature on a hot day, where I don't have to think about sunscreen :) This is by far the best playground in my immediate area, and we're feeling very lucky. This week we had a 2 mile trail, and the kids did pretty good. I probably should have grabbed to Ergo for F though. The other major item this week was making a movie. We had a lot of fun with that, and I can't wait for the next one. Scenes, filming, acting, costume, and props - we learned a lot the first time around. L even pitched in with the soundtrack and special effects after I did the bulk of the editing.
