Today we are having our air ducts cleaned. This, depending on what company you talk to, should be done every 3 to 10 years. So, that probably means that, doing it every 15 years would be sufficient. We believe that it has never been done in the 60-ish years this house has been around, or more accurately, the 30-ish years that it has had air ducts. Either way, we are in desperate need of some fresh air.
The other day the kids and I went to a park we hadn't been to in four years. The last time we went, the walk from our car seemed to last forever with a two year old and a baby in a stroller. The other day, I walked briskly and the children ran. They were already playing by the time I plopped down at a picnic table and opened my book.
This playground was ideal when they were young because it has three separate sections; infant, toddler and big kid, each surrounded by soft rubbery sidewalks and a really big sand pit in the corner. Four years ago we barely left the infant playground and I couldn't dream of going near the big kid one. This time, the kids didn't even know the infant and toddler playgrounds existed until we took a walk around the park together.
Needless to say, we had a blast. We meant to only stay an hour but we kept finding reasons to stay longer. There is a nature walk, a huge mound with a zig-zag path leading to the top, a pyramid of grass for climbing and a HUGE section of picnic tables and trees on gravel with an underwater irrigation system and lots of shade! I took pictures.
