The Little Lame Playground

This is a post dedicated to the little lame playground at our apartments, and to our friends Tiana, Ches, and Ellie who are not lame. So if you look in the background, you can see this little tiny playground. We are so grateful for this little tiny playground, and how it can keep our kids entertained for years. Literally years...our boys were playing on this playground when they were learning to walk, climb, jump...etc. Somehow they still find it as entertaining as ever (even though Tiana and I might not). Damon and I love the late afternoon texts, or calls to meet at the playground. They have saved us so many times in that late afternoon crunch of needing something to do before we go nuts. We are so glad that our friends have lived in these apartments for almost as long as we have, and that they are always there for us when we need a quick drop off babysitting favor, or a couple of eggs. Tiana and I sit at the park and talk it up for hours while the kids play, play, and play some more. They haul their trucks, buckets, shovels, footballs, and whatever else they can fit in their wagons to keep themselves entertained. All they really need is each other, and I am very grateful for such great friends, and a park where we can just meet in the middle - almost every day.
