Parks

I found a new park the other day. M and L absolutely loved it! The place has no less than 8 slides! There is a company down here that makes rubber stamps for scrap-booking. This company is the second largest employer in the town, and therefore decided to give back to the community. The interesting thing is that the playground has a thick layer of rubber cast offs instead of gravel, dirt, or wood chips. The stuff is so cool! As you walk on it, the shreds of rubber give you the feeling of bouncing. It is red in color, so it really doesn't get hot, you can run on it bare foot and not feel a thing. Not to mention that it just looks neat.

M was trying to learn how to jump out of a swing... She did a face plant instead! The really cool part was that when she fell, she just jumped right up and ran off to play. No tears, no splinters, no scrapes, nada. This is the coolest park ever! I just wish it was close enough to walk to, but no, we have to drive for about 20 minutes to get there... If we had two cars, that wouldn't be a problem.

We have been considering entering the world of two car families, but now it actually looks like we still have to buy a new car... Only we will be replacing the old one that is breaking apart. (Sultry Husband is stuck about 1 1/2 hours away from home right now because he broke down... I have no way to rescue him...) He has this tendency to name our vehicles, and this one is "The Galloping Goose". He also decided that the car was a female. I don't really care one way or the other, I just laughed when he named it. Let us hope that the Galloping Goose can run just a little farther, she only has about 160,000 miles on her, and until we can either sell our house in Idaho or find renters to live in it, we are stuck paying double bills. This is no fun! I think that we all need a trip to the park if Daddy ever makes it home.
