Playground Hopping

Playground hopping has become a tradition around here.  It really is fun to jump in the car knowing that our goal for the day is simply to visit a few playgrounds and have a good time!  We went on Thursday, and it was a perfect playground hopping day because it was partly cloudy with a slight breeze.  Karlie joined us, and we all had a great time.

We started at South School.



Chace Street School was our second stop.  This was not originally planned, but the kids requested it after South because they like the Chace zip line.  In the next picture, you can see Collin on the zip line.



Our third stop was the playground behind the Kickemuit Middle School in Warren.  I always forget about this playground, but it is really cool.  









We were starting to get hot, and Kate was looking sleepy, so a break was in order.  I drove to Newport Creamery in Barrington where we all ate lunch and ice cream, and restored our energy!

Our final playground was Barrington, another gem that we enjoy visiting.








Listening to the four of them trying to slide down together was funny.  Lots of "ouch"es.

After this, we were all wiped out.  The Del's truck pulled in to the parking lot and I took that as a sign that it was time to get a Del's and go home!

We left the house at 9:00 in the morning and did not return until after 2:00, so I think that was quite the day of playground fun!
