I started looking about a year ago for some of the old playground equipment to purchase for my back yard. I had this vision that I would watch my grandchildren play like I had watched my sisters and even my own children. To my surprise and disappointment it is no where to be found. I makes me sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24914557.post-22378796640175259232008-03-11T18:57:00.000-05:002008-03-11T18:57:00.000-05:00Thank the plaintiff's bar for disappearing playgro...Thank the plaintiff's bar for disappearing playgrounds, and parents who buy into the lie that if a child gets hurt they should automatically get rich.

What a...Wow, I was just thinking about this today! What a loss.. the playgrounds from when I was a kid have all been torn down.. no more fun stuff to play on anymore! Poor kids today, no wonder they don't want to play outside. There are a few old ride-on metal animals around though, I'll have to go visit them and take pics.. How could you resist a giant metal caterpillar? And I love that spacey slide, too.Nessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00560592169560020750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24914557.post-51396717923010939352007-03-15T11:02:00.000-05:002007-03-15T11:02:00.000-05:00Mike - I'm sorry to hear that :(Zbkat - I bet that...Mike - I'm sorry to hear that :(<BR/><BR/>Zbkat - I bet that giant robot was cool!

Thanks for stopping by and this blog will always be for all ages. <BR/><BR/>Scott - That's a good idea. I saw the other day a tiny digital camera as a keychain.

Geez, even our playgrounds were cooler back then.

I met up with some friends from elementary school a few years back, and when we went to check out the playground we'd loved so much, it had been replaced by a plastic abomination. I just showed my 3-year-old the pics in the Flickr set, and he was going crazy over them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14677437103597081445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24914557.post-39308696934301930392007-03-14T02:30:00.000-05:002007-03-14T02:30:00.000-05:00I became so nostalgic after seeing the snaps.
