We came out to this park on an overcast evening to find a geocache starting with "E" - it was called "Ernie Winch Park Cache", appropriately enough. After making the find, we headed over to the playground; it wasn't a lot of fun at first as there weren't many kids there and those that were there were being very closely helicoptered. However, Charlotte soon found Apollo and Ateem to play with and they had a great time on the school bus, turning it into an ice cream truck and whatever else captured their imagination. They thought it was great that they were aged three, four and five - it was then convenient for Owlie to be six, Riley to be seven and me to be eight! All went well until I brought the camera out and allowed them each to have a turn taking pictures. There was much drama and heartache over how much time each had been allowed to spend with the camera and things went downhill from there. They made up for a time, but three very strong personalities couldn't help but clash again! We headed out, Charlotte in tears over some transgression committed by one of the other girls. I thought it was good for her to meet some kids who wouldn't let her boss them around! The playground is located at N 49.12.880 W 122.56.732 and is point no. 158 on the map at the bottom of home page.
