Fun Times

This post should probably be a recap of Thanksgiving, but I'm not that organized right now. Instead I'm going to share some silly photos of me and the kids at the school playground yesterday. They convinced me to go out at dusk, in 30-something degree weather, cause they were "bored." What a great idea!

Anson and I (and a random kid who was there) shot some hoops, while Charlotte primarily spun around on various vomit-inducing playthings. She finally got me into a spinning tulip, and I felt a little off-kilter all evening.

Take some time this month to get away from your computers, TVs, and the mall. Stop, relax, and take a "spin" outside!

**********************

Anson with the jump shot! By the way, he insists on wearing gym shorts every day, no matter the weather, and his Under Armour hoodie. He is suddenly "aware" of what all of the other kids are wearing. Like the neon green laces? Those were his addition.

Charlotte spins, and spins, and spins, and spins...I'm getting dizzy just looking at her.

It wouldn't be a playground outing if Charlotte didn't hang upside down at some point.

Here I am trying out the tulip. I am going to warn you, it is hard to stop those things once you get going.

The piece de resistance -- a spinning walking circle, ripe for falls and broken limbs. (It's hard to tell in the photo, but the circle spins in the opposite direction that you walk.) Remind me, why would they put these things on a school playground?
