253: playgrounds in brookings

There isn't a whole lot to do in Brookings. We haven't really met anyone and I feel a little bad for the girls. They've gone from having someone to play with at a near drop of the hat to having ... me. The weather hasn't been great so far in Brookings - it is super foggy every morning and then burns off in the late afternoon but isn't really all that warm. But it hasn't been rainy, which is nice. And there are a couple of playgrounds that we can walk to, which does give us something to do. Azalea Park has a huge wooden playground that looks like a giant castle. It's really just a lot of maze-like structures, not a ton of things that little little kids can do, but they do have a couple of slides, swings, balance beams, and some wobbly bridges that the girls like to walk through. We don't end up playing their for too long (whereas we could be at the sandy park for hours), but they do enjoy themselves.

These faces melt my heart.
