2012 Playgroundpalooza

School resumes Aug 22, 2012.  Our goal is to visit 30 different playgrounds between now and then.  We have also added a challenge within the challenge to visit 10 school playgrounds. 
We were in Park Rapids for the weekend. It seemed fitting to visit our first playground while visiting Grandma and Grandpa, since last summer we visited our first playground while visiting the other Grandma and Grandpa on Memorial Day weekend. We had not been to this playgroung in PR before. The kids loved it. There were some funky teeter totters. Megan loved the colors. The boys liked the 'zip line', since it made a funky swooshing sound when you hit the end of it. Don and I found a geocache that was hidden in the trees near playground as well. 
The kids all loved this playground.  It may become the preferred playground when in PR.  It is near Burger King, which may have some other benefits as well.

 Darn....Don and I couldn't play....

 The teeter totters criss-crossed each other, so you would sit diagonally from your teeter totter buddy.

We would like to visit Oak Park this summer, which was the first park of last summer.  It was in the area flooded.  We are curious how it looks now.

Tuesday we will meet up with some good friends at playground #2 of the year.
