We began our day by visiting three playgrounds. At the first playground, the big, twisty slide was the favorite element.
The second playground had these cool spinning seats that made me a bit sick and all I did was watch!
The third playground had the best swings.
After three playgrounds, we returned home for lunch and some playtime with Kelly (our Bernese Mountain Dog). There was a tiny (ahem) meltdown by one of the children at this point and I almost ended the playground hopping for the day, but everyone (or that one child) calmed down and we decided to head out to
an ice cream stand that has a little playground in the back (really just a swing and a bouncy thing).
They weren't very excited about this swingset, but after looking beyond the swings, they found the BEST type of playground - trees and a huge rock! We spent a lot of time there while they climbed and jumped!
After a stop at a roadside market,
we returned home to get Kelly and walk over to our neighborhood playground.
Not bad for one day!

So much fun!! I love this idea of trying out a bunch and one day! That twisty slide looks like a lot of fun!
Wow! You're a supermom to make it to so many playgrounds!!!
I bet they slept well after all that =)
I'm impressed with you! What a fun day. I bet the kids thought this was great.
Little Wonders' Days
You are a brave woman! 5 playgrounds in one day!
It looks like they had a great time.
I've had that on my list to do for a while. Ever since I found out there are 23 free splash parks in Austin (though some of them are just a fountain)
That sounds like so much fun to go to so many playgrounds in one day. Boy though I don't know who would be more tired, Selena or me.
I have also had this on my list of things to do, for forever. Although I'm not sure we would make it to five. Hehe. And I have to say that the trees in your post looked like the best part. I love all the action shots of them jumping. Great post! Thanks for sharing!
We've been to a park that has those twisty seats and after my baby got into it she couldn't walk in a straight line.
I completely understand the attraction of the tree and the rock and totally agree with your kids - the natural playgrounds are best. Sounds like a very fun day!
So fun! I'm seeing a lot of summer bucket lists on blogs right now. Such a great idea. I'll have to do one next year.
I love the idea of doing them all in one day - that's going on my list now too!
You are a trooper!
playground hopping is an all time favorite...I bet the kids had the time of their lives!
