Play grounds

Thank heavens for play grounds. When I babysit my grandchildren, I usually like to take them to the park to play. They love being outdoors and playing on the slides, swing set, climbing around the play sets, or playing in the sand.

After rubbing sun screen on them, I unleash them to play. It is amazing how quickly the time goes by when we are in the park! They spend a lot of time in the sand with all the trucks, cars, shovels and pails. Then they play on the swings or go down the slides.

If we can’t go to the park – my back yard is where they play. There are a few riding toys on the basketball court. They have access to a swing set or to the riding toys. They also can play in the little plastic play houses or the small slide.

In between they can draw with the chalk or blow bubbles, or collect acorns and pine cones. If they get tired, they can go and lie down on my rope hammock and relax.

Being outside is healthy and fun for both my grandchildren and me. Besides it does make the time go by faster.
