Delaware, part 4: playground time

One thing C LOVES to do is go to the playground. Here at home, it's usually too hot to go to the playground except during twilight time or early morning (like before 0800!) during the summer months. When we walk past the playground areas during our morning constitutional, she makes hopeful noises as we approach, and disappointed ones as we depart. The weather was beautiful though in Delaware and the grandparents Wong have a playground just a few blocks from their home. We went over each day of our vacation, and C enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, Grandma and Grandpa were delighted to watch her run all over the area, climb on the equipment, bounce on the bouncy things and slide on the slides. The first day we went, she was afraid of the big bouncy frog, but by the last day of our time there, she was running to the frog, squealing "frog" and returning to it time and again. The large, slide/stairs apparatus had a short bridge walkway that intimidated her quite a bit at first. She didn't like being able to see through the slats. Once Daddy walked over it a couple of times holding her hand, she was fine, as long as he was at one end or the other waiting for her. She was still cautious, but she was being so brave! I'm not sure which she likes more, the slide or the bouncies. She calls the slide a "whee" (accompanied by giggles), but I'm pretty sure she spends an equal amount of time on the bouncies. She goes to the bouncies first, but she could be saving the slide (the best?) for last.
