New Park

Sadly, our new neighborhood lacks the awesome proximity to child-friendly activities that our old apartment did. We're enjoying being able to play in our front and back yard but sometimes a kid just has to go to the park! We have one small park within walking distance, but I've discovered that time of day is a huge factor in when we can play at it. After 11:00, it's far too hot and often frequented by less-than-desirable characters(bums, creeps, etc). Before 11, we've found nice kids, nice parents and nice weather. Better than nothing!
