Crazy-cool new park
Saturday Dada went on a field trip, which meant Isaac and I hit a snazzy park recommended to us by some neighbors. While the park is not "new", it is certainly new to us, and afforded Isaac his very first frolic in a sandbox:
Well, by frolic I mean sitting in one place without moving for a half-hour, but enjoying one's self nonetheless. I tried to explain to him how one shovels the sand, ala "Go Baby!", but prodding his lap with the shovel seemed to make more sense:
He preferred using his hands as little pudgy shovels instead, picking the sand up...and dumping it right back out. So magical...watching sand grains fall...
The coolest part about this park was the play equipment. As most Seattle parks, this one had multiple jungle-gym type structures with slides and steps and bridges and such. Unlike most Seattle parks, this one possesses such a structure that has been zapped with a shrink ray, such that the tallest walkable surface is about adult-waist-height -- highly appropriate for fledgling toddlers:
