Swing Dilemma

We went on a walk today to enjoy the last of the good weather. It was about 60 degrees and the sun was out. We went a differnt way than we usually go and discovered a whole new section to our subdivision. It was great. We also found 3 more parks that are within short walking distance from our house. We stopped at one for a short time, even though we couldn't stay long because parks close in Germany at 1:00pm and open back up at 3:00. We thought that was really weird at first, but I have decided it is because most parks are flush up against peoples houses or an apartment building, so it may be to give them a nap break from noise from the park.

While at the park the boys wanted to swing. As of yet I have not found a park here that has a swing set with more than 2 swings on it. Even if the park is a big park, they put up these two seat swing sets, and it really creates a problem with the 3 Hughes boys.




(and typically the one waiting for the swing is NOT smiling)

That is crazy that parks are closed between 1 and 3. That must have seemed really weird. I understand about the swing dilemma. Don't you think it happens in a lot of things? There always seems to be two of everything, not three.

you just have to convince them that the "spider" approach (where one sits on top of the other on) is more fun. How convenient to find more parks close to home. Aiden can't even crawl yet and I'm already seeing the value in parks.

That's OK, wait until your girl comes and you have four children!! Then it gets really interesting to find things.
