When we arrived in our new apartment we doubled the current population of children under ten years old. I got to talking with the maintenance guy and he mentioned that he was thinking about putting down some new wood chips around the playground at the student housing complex. I indicated that our girls would get plenty of use out of it if he did.
From the photo above that was taken back in June you can see a few problems with the playground. The old wood chips were overgrown by weeds and the playground equipment itself was covered in a dark layer of tree pollen (or sap, grime, or something).
When the maintenance guy came through for us with the wood chips we decided to take a family home evening and show our appreciation. We grabbed a bucket of soapy water and some sponges and cleaned off the equipment. The playground really looks inviting now. Kristy, Molly, and Neleha did such a wonderful job of scrubbing away grime.
After it was all clean the girls joyfully used the renovated playground.
