A few days ago I decided to take my grandson to a fast food restaurant for a lunch and play-date. With his "kid's meal" in one hand, and Jude's hand in my other, I found a great spot, close to the playground, to set down his food for feasting. Not able to hold back from the fun, Jude took off as I chased behind him and found myself climbing up and through the tubular maze, ending with a twisty slide back down to 'start.' It was all good fun, but far from clean! I did not expect to see big pockets of animal droppings all along the way. Needless to say I had to take a very disappointed toddler away before we had a chance to eat or go around a second time! I drove him home and back to our favorite park by his house. We got to have our lunch, play-date in a clean playground. I've learned my lesson! 1. Be sure to check out the playground area before allowing the children to play. 2. Dorothy was right...there's no place like home!
P.S. I did call the restaurant to let them know the unsanitary conditions of their children's play equipment.
P.S.S. Please share ideas and/or experiences similar to mine. Always looking to make the world cleaner and safer for our little ones!
Learning as we go,
Bubbie and Jude
