Open Playground Thread!
Who: Anyone!
When: Saturday!
Where: The playground!
What: Just tag in with your kids/teens/parents/WHATEVER. New tags. Open tags. Closed tags! Doesn't matter! Just put what you want in the subject! Assume that it's cold, but HEY...any excuse to be outside, right?
Uhura walked out, feeling uncomfortable in her coat. But her little body was full of energy and she thought that it might do her some good to run around for a bit. And this park was big! It had slides, jungle gyms, and all the padding at the bottom to compensate for childish antics. The brightly colored plastic and metal was new, indicating that the park had just been built or renovated recently. Which Uhura appreciated. At least it looked safe.
After leaving Parker on the side (as a seven year old would look a bit strange wandering alone by herself), she climbed up to the top of the slide and looked down, contemplating the drop. There were lots of other people around, including some children, who whined at her to hurry and go down. A few pushed past to get their way.
But Uhura was torn. Did she want to go down? She didn't want to seem too silly, but they were getting into character, right? Finally, after the 'peer' pressure got to her, she sat her happy bottom down on the cold metal and slid down, grinning as she did so. When her feet hit the ground, she turned and looked back up.
AGAIN!
