Our second new playground in a row is birthday party-related! This time we headed to the Richmond Nature Park to celebrate Alex's fifth birthday. The playground itself is a rope pyramid that's a bit much for Charlotte for now, but she did play on it a bit with the other kids. Mostly she cared more about the giant log nearby that was just perfect for climbing on - lots of kids seemed to prefer it over the structure that was actually designed for climbing! When everyone had arrived, we headed along the boardwalk on an Easter egg hunt, with all of the kids finding a treasure.
We ended in the "grassy meadow", where we had a pizza picnic and the kids romped and played. I turned on the GPS from underneath the picnic shelter and found myself just three metres away from "Green Meenie"! At that moment, some other geocachers arrived and we all hunted for the cache together. We actually came back to the park a few days later after work and daycare to climb on the log some more and to find one of the other caches in the park, "Time Machine 2". There are still lots of caches to find in the park, including some of the Richmond GeoQuest caches, so we will be back again for sure! The playground is located at N 49.10.247 W 123.05.640 and is point no. 112 on the map at the bottom of home page.
