Poricy Park -September Catch-up
We decided to take the boys to another park and chose Poricy Park. It was a perfect park day and we had a picnic and walked the trials with the boys. It was a great little nature outing. The trails were very easy and the boys enjoyed the adventure. Though Chris works long hours, his schedule is nice in that he generally gets a weekday off most weeks. We have found that visiting these places during the week means less crowds...which makes maneuvering around much easier. Here are some pictures of our Poricy Park Adventure!
We stopped at Whole Food Market on the way to the park and got some yummy panini's and bakery desserts...yum!

"Dino" Playground
Later that day, we all headed across the field to see what was going on with the boys' beloved "dino" playground (which is what the boys call it because of a picture of a dinosaur fossil on the back of the climbing wall...and this of course always spurs them on to play like they're dinosaurs or running from dinosaurs and such when we're there.)
(Picture taken last month)
As we walked across the field, It didn't take long to see that it was indeed -very unfortunately -burnt. The slides and climbing wall were melted into little piles of mangled plastic on the ground and the metal frame was charred and rusted. It reeked of smoke and burnt materials.
What a huge disappointment it was for the boys.
I don't know what happened -if it was accidental or arson - but it really frustrated me. Who plays with fire at a playground?! Thankfully the fire didn't spread to the houses behind the playground.
I walked over the other day and snapped some pictures. I'm also posting pictures of the playground before the fire for comparison. Hopefully a new playground will be put up soon, but I don't know if it'll happen while we're still here.
Here is a picture of the playground taken last month...
And here it is now (same angle, just closer up) - all but one of the slides were completely burned off and the climbing wall was just a ball of melted plastic on the ground.
