Higher, faster, and steeper

Spring has, as they say, sprung. After months of being cooped up inside it is again pleasant to venture outdoors. In the new season most trips outside end up involving a visit to a playground somewhere.

As recently as this fall the height of playground excitement was the swing. Fast forward to the spring of 2008 and the swing ranks as marginally more interesting than washing one's hair.

Enter the slide!

Turns out nothing compares to a thrilling trip down a half-pipe!

It's too bad that roller coasters have height restrictions. For now this is as fun as fun gets!
