Holbrook Playground

These are just a few shots of Daniel playing on the playground equipment here in Holbrook. It took him a while to actually want to play! He still doesn't swing, but he loves to run and to slide. And if any other kids are there, they are automatically his "friend" if they will just run and slide with him! We've had pretty good luck with some of the other kids, but all too often we have the playground to ourselves. Now that the weather is getting cooler, it's easier for me to go on a bike ride to the park with Daniel in the trailer. Then we both get a good workout! I'll get some bike trailer pics one of these days!

This is a plastic "fossil" on the underside of a climbing structure. Daniel loves to point out all the bones!

Since playing in Holbrook includes our daily walks with Walnut, here are some pictures from the "dump" - an open area just over the hill from our house. A lot of petrified wood is eroding out, but a lot of trash is out there, too. Both Daniel and Walnut love the walks in the "sand" since there are rocks to throw and rabbits to scare out of the bushes! We follow the "roads" made by 4-wheelers and motorbikes and trucks that are doing I-don't-want-to-know-what. Other folks use the area, especially to walk their dogs, but we almost never see anyone when we go in the mornings.
