New House = New Park

We took the kids to check out the new neighborhood's park last weekend. It's a challenging park, for ages 5-12. Jack was in his element. Luke was a bit more cautious, but he found some things he liked to play on too. 

Jack was crazy about this obstacle. The platforms swing quite a bit as the child makes his way across. When John showed Jack how to do it, Jack claimed he didn't want to do it because it was too scary. Before we left, he had crossed it a dozen times. John tried to interest Luke in this activity too. Luke stepped out onto the first platform, felt it swing beneath his feet, and hightailed it back to safety with a what in the world look back at the swinging platform that clearly didn't fit into his playground schema. 

The I did it! look

John and I are asking a lot of the boys with all the moving we are doing during this phase of John's career. Thankfully, children are resilient. Ours seem to feel as I do that as long as we are together, we can live anywhere (As long as there is a park!).
