Hagi No-oka Park (And Picture Upload!)

Cash and Fox go down the slide at the park instead of taking the stairs.  They have this in a lot of kids' places here, like preschools.  Instead of bumping into each other on the stairs to get to the playground, all the kids just take the slide.  I think this is so neat!
So here are a few pics of Hagi No-oka Park, a free kids' pool and park up in the mountains near our home.  The water is the perfect depth for 4 year olds, which is awesome.  Cash has been swimming every day in school, so it's been fun to see him strap on his goggle and swim cap and go underwater without fear. Go Cashy!
 


Cutie Coco!
The elephant slide--it reminds me of the toy slide Kelsy had as a little kid in the backyard.
Japan is also great about it's playgrounds for adults--this is a huge net that leads up to a big slide.
Coco's latest obsessions are alligators and snakes (although she still loves ghosts).  For about an hour, she was crawling around the pooling, yelling, "I'm a mean alligator" or "I'm a nice alligator now!"  Even when she would slip and roll over into the water, she still kept up being an alligator.  She is hilarious.


So let's see how this worked--I am trying just uploading photo links from photobucket this time.  Crossing my fingers!
