Abusing Playground Equipment

The park that we hung out at while and Brooks and Heather’s house is awesome! It has all the fun old-school equipment that parks don’t have any more for lame liability reasons. They had a huge tall twisty slide and a merry-go-round that was definitely well used. Being members of the VanderHoeven Machine we could not resist. We had Terence spin us on the merry-go-round until we were so dizzy we could not walk and then tried to run to a point of interest few yards away. Heather was much better at this then I was.

The twisty slide was also pretty irresistible to us! What do you do when you have a tall slide and four adults? Add wax paper and boom, instant rocket launcher. Ok maybe I am exaggerating but only by a little. Brooks was by far the fastest he flew off the end of that slide so fast we almost fell off of it. Terence, Heather and I also tried it. I did feel a little guilty because as we were getting ready to go a little kid came to play on the slide. With his SpongeBob balloon tied firmly to his wrist he climbed to the top of the slide and proceeded to fly down it. He did not get hurt and I think he enjoyed it. He kept going up and down the slide screaming whoopee, fast slide all the way down. It was pretty fun.
