Quite a few months ago we noticed some men hard at work constructing a huge, new jungle gym in a park in Wynberg (not far from us) called Maynardville.
Maynardville is "famous" for it's open air Shakespeare theatre and carnival's but it is also a big park with a duck pond, pathways and now a fantastic play area.
The kids had been wanting to go to "the new park" for ages and Friday afternoon called for an outing so we loaded up with bikes, Rollerblades and a flask of tea and met up with the Carters.
The kids had a ball (literally and figuratively!!!) and what a bonus - nobody fell from a dizzy height and got a concussion!!!
There is a nice paved section where Abigail could Rollerblade and the the kids could ride their bikes, or like Bryce, both at the same time:
We had such a good time that we went back on Saturday with Willow, Marley and Ouma and Oupa.
I think I need to get on my soapbox again and get them to transform our park, the play equipment there is over 40 years old and wouldn't it be wonderful to have a safe place to ride bikes etc. Mmmm, I think it's time for a letter...
