Balaclava Park - the right side of the tracks! Very posh houses around here... Charlotte and I found our geocache, appropriately named "Balaclava Park", then had to decide which of the
two playgrounds we would visit - this is how the rich kids live, I guess! We went with the westernmost playground - it was bigger, so perhaps not the most appropriate for Charlotte, but it was the closest one to the cache and there was another little girl playing there already who was just about Charlotte's age. They had a great time playing in the sand together with a couple of toys that were permanent residents of the playground. It's always nice when there is someone around to play with who has parents who will actually allow the kids to play without supervising every movement. This girl's mama happened to be French - perhaps that has something to do with how amazingly easy-going she was - she laid down on the grass, closed her eyes and soaked up some sun - she seemed more than happy to trust that her daughter was just fine, doing her own thing and making new friends. Brilliant! I have a lovely picture of the two girls playing together in the sand, but I guess it's probably not cool to upload random pictures of a stranger's daughter to the Internet. After they left, Charlotte did some climbing and swinging till I got worried about sunburn. Time to start schlepping the sunscreen around again, I guess! The park is located at: N 49.14.753 W 123.10.520:
