Last week we had beautiful, sunny spring weather that seemed like it would never end. Monday morning we made plans with a school friend of M's who also has Mondays off. For a variety of reasons we decided to go to Beatrix park. M doesn't love Beatrix because, unless the kinderbad is open, the playground is designed for younger children. M and I had the idea that we would visit all 5 of Vondel Park's playgrounds (speeltuinen) and decide which one we liked best.
 |
| The "wire playground" (as M named it) was fun, but the climbers were more appropriate for kids a bit older. |
 |
| But, he could easily climb the dome. The playground has definite possibilities with its adjacent outdoor cafe. |
 |
| "Treetopolis" was our next stop, with a climber about 10 feet up. |
 |
The next playground was promising but M was too tired to try it,
so I smartly rode around until he fell asleep in the trailer. |
 |
| Once he fell asleep we visited playground #4, which is the usual Vondel playground we have visited a million times. Good thing, because M slept through it. |
 |
| M woke up after an hour with some serious sleep marks on his forehead. |
 |
| Then we headed to the Kinderkook Cafe to decorate cupcakes with his friend D. |
 |
| I was proud of M for not eating all of his decorations, although he ate a few spoonfuls of the frosting. |
 |
| Then we went back to Treetopolis, the undisputed winner of the playground competition, to burn off the cupcake! |
