Looks like they were having fun! A little dangerous though, right! But that’s the name of the game. Glad to see your kids enjoyed the experiment.

We came upon the most awesome park, and I thought of Fifty DT! This park was untouched by progress, and the safety board, and as a family we had the most fun we’ve had in a park since… like, forever! Tell us, Gever, why are the shiny-safe-new parks so dull? What makes the merry-go-rounds and teeter-totters seem so much more engaging and appealing… it cannot be novelty alone. I am curious to hear what other people think of the new playgrounds vs the old ones. Can we (safely) bring back some of those “dangerous” rides?

I live in a four-storey building with a heavily sloping roof :-) I guess I’ll have to look around for something else, for which I will not be chasing the prosecutor :-)))

Sounds fun! Hopefully you won’t have the incessant rain we’ve been having (unless it’s when you’re doing #42).
