Another birthday party- this one for a young Hannah Morgan, who got a "farkly" purple purse filled with fake cosmetics, and a broom.Bowden coveted the broom.
It was held at the super-old-school playground at Tahquitz Pines that is neither up-to-code, nor well-kept. Notice how completely Bowden's head fits through the bars of the way-too-high play equipment? It comes complete with a super-steep slide and an equally steep, yet more slippery, ladder.
It does have a bunch of perfectly sized and situated baby swings...
The party was nice and short. Bowden's favorite part was the lollipops in the cupcakes, of course. Some of the other mothers were trying to push a lollipop on Lucy, saying that babies eating lollys are, "so cute!"
(Just say no. I did.)

i looove that picture of lucy!
that's her smiling for the camera.
I would have coveted that broom as a child, too.
Griff was about 30 feet in the air on an open jungle-gym in the shape of a train engine, last week. He got that high (well maybe not THAT high) before we even noticed (BAD parents chatting away) and then formed a human pillow below him, just-in-case, all the way down as we coached his every step. The old-school super-dangerous ones are, it is true, the funnest play-grounds around though.
My favorite is the picture of Bowden tangled up in sunshine. Old-school playgrounds are the most fun, I think, but I don't know if that's because I'm biased from playing on them myself or because they really are. (Bouncy snails on large metal coils? C'mon, what can top that?!)
Farkly. Farkly. Farkly.
It's the new 'cool.'
