At a park the other day I played on the swings with the mini's. Mini-#2 thought it was really funny when I jumped off the swing I was on and rolled across the ground. His laugh at times like these is really infectious. It's like a burst of gut-busting glee that you'd do anything to hear.
Even jump out of a swing again after cutting your leg up on that bark stuff they fill playgrounds with.
I remember when they put sand in playgrounds. I broke my arm once landing on the sand.
Then there was the gravel. It got really hot in the sun and would get stuck in your shoe and turn your shorts all dusty if you sat down on it, or fell on it or whatever.
Was there something between the gravel and the bark?
Maybe padded plastic full of holes? Why not packaging peanuts?
