The Playground

I've been trying to take Jack to the park more often lately. My goal is twice a week. It's really good for both of us. Today we were sneaky and went to play at a park the belongs to a neighborhood we don't live in. Sssshhh, don't tell anyone. Normally Jack just runs around and doesn't really "get" what the playground equipment is all about. Today something finally clicked and he understood. With my help, he was climbing up the stairs, crossing over the bridge, and sliding down the slide like a champ. Since he requires my constant supervision during these times, I can't really take any pictures. It's a bit frustrating because the whole time I'm thinking, "That would be a great shot. Oh, this would be a great background." I'll try to come back with my hubby so he can supervise, and I can get some pictures.

I've also been giving a lot of thought to what type of backyard equipment we want to invest in this Spring. The hubby has already agreed to build a sandbox. Of course it's Texas so he'll have to have a swimming pool. What else do you guys think every little boy needs in his backyard?
