Lately, I've been hearing about the secret playground that Daddy takes them to. No I had no clue where this playground was and I was perfectly happy to take them to the little one by our house. But the girls are playground hoppers - they love to switch it up. And lucky for us we have quite a few small playgrounds around us which means no craziness in keeping track of them with only one of us with them.

So last Wednesday, when I picked Kayla up from school, she asked to go to the secret playground. I told her I did not know where it was. On our way to pick Alysa up at the babysitter's, we passed by a road and Kayla yelled out - "That's it Mommy. That's where the secret playground is. That is the road Daddy takes!"

So after I picked up Alysa, I backtracked and took that road. From that road, she told me where to turn and took me directly to this secret playground. I will admit, I was quite impressed with her ability to give me directions. Is it normal to get driving directions from a 4 year old? :)

Unfortunately, we were unable to stay and play there, because there is a reason it is a secret playground. It is in a development, but it set way back from the street with a somewhat "narrow" opening through trees. Then there is large tennis court in a clearing and then quite aways behind the tennis court is the playground. The playground is pretty secluded. As I was walking them back to the playground, I saw there was a man just sitting on the playground with no one else with him. It made me very uncomfortable. What is a grown man doing on the playground (that is close by to a school) by himself? With it being so secluded, it gave me a bad vibe and I decided it would not be on the safe side to take the kids back there by myself. Kayla was quite devestated, but luckily calmed down enought enjoy the little playgound (aka LP) for a bit.

J was very impressed with his Big Girl!
