25. Norquay Elementary School, Vancouver

What's this?!?  Two playgrounds in one day?!?  In the evening, we went to visit our friends Paula and Gabi; we had dinner with them and then they took us to check out their favourite local playground.  The playground is brand new, thanks to the fundraising efforts of the parents of the kids at the elementary school and apparently the old playground left a lot to be desired.  Let's not get into whether or not parents should be selling dozens of cookies and cupcakes in order to be able to have a playground in the schoolyard...  Charlotte and Gabi had a great time tearing all over the playground, checking out the swings and slides and climbing everywhere.  Because the playground is designed for school-aged kids, there were no bucket swings for Charlotte, but she didn't seem to mind as she was enjoying herself so much, clambering about and making friends with one of the other girls at the playground.  By the time we left, the sun was almost down, it was getting cold - and we only just made it home in time for bedtime!  There are no geocaches nearby with it being a school, but we already got one today anyway!  The playground is located at N 49.14.467 W 123.03.051: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=z7IAXiVD2wGY.ke14vi-3MYtI&pli=1
