Best. Park. Ever.





Perhaps you all remember our local park. The extent of it is pretty much this. Today we took Dylan to a local park here near my cousin's house in suburban Dayton, and he had the time of his life. He could spend all day every day here. I had never really considered the importance of having a good local park, but the fact that we don't have a yard and that our local park is dirty, decrepit and full of graffiti means that we have limited places for Dylan to play outdoors. I don't know if all 19-month-olds are like this but Dylan seems to need at least a few hours per day dedicated to running wild. I'd kill to have access to a park like this on a regular basis. It's free, clean and the neighbors all bring and leave toys for the kids to play with in the sand. And they don't get stolen or defaced. I took a video of Dylan playing in the park's spray pools here.
