Playground Fun.

So…our goal is to see every play set the Monterey area has to offer.  We want to make sure the people here know their tax $$ is being spent for good reason! 
Boy oh Boy, they do have some super fun places to play. 
                                               But we seem to have a problem: everyone we go to starts the same: 
The kids run screaming with excitement to the sets…they run from thing to thing as fast as they can to ‘play’ them first.  Then about 4 minutes after stepping out of the van they are all gathered around Mark and me. 
See this trip has been amazing, we are getting more family time then we’ve ever had and we are loving it…but just like on vacation there's no one here to babysit…so ALL our time together is family time…mommy and daddy don’t get much time just us.  So we also told the kids this was our time to have while they played on these playgrounds! 
But it never fails…they end up playing on us!!  Can you blame them…Mark and I ARE super fun! Ha!  Just was wondering if that was the norm…but I’m sure it is! 
They do here and there stay on the sets longer IF I start them out with a game/goal.  We’ve been watching a LOT of Disney Jr. (cause this is an amazing thing we’ve NEVER had before – HOW DID WE LIVE!?!). They have a show about Pirates; Jake and the Never land Pirates.  All we have to do is tell them to play that and they are super busy…and VERY entertaining for Mark and me!  Grissom's also started being 'The Beast'  He uses his SUPER scary monster growl and runs at the kids!  It's SUPER funny!
