The 29th playground

Today we visited our 28th and 29th playground of the summer.  Since our goal is 30, we have been focused on that number, but once we got home, I realized that #29 breaks our record of 28 playgrounds last summer.  In retrospect, it's a good thing we picked up some McDonald's for a picnic at the 28th playground (which was Legion's Park in Mandan.)  I can now say it was for celebration.

The 29th playground was Stargazer's Park in southeast Mandan.  It is a newer park, and this was our first time visiting it.  I told the kids we would just drive by it to check it out, and play at it later.  But as luck would have it, I got a phone call right as we approached it, and being the responsible parent that I am, pulled over in front of the playground to take the call.  I opened up the sliding doors just in case the kids wanted to play.  They did.  We went back later this evening with Huxley, who is spending the night.  The kids have voted it their favorite playground of the summer.
