One Hippopatami Can't Get on a Bus

Our local playground was renovated recently, and although the renovations were completely unnecessary, we decided to attend the re-opening event.

 Jack mostly liked the original equipment that wasn't 'upgraded.'

He also enjoyed good old-fashioned "playing in the dirt".

Into the woods!
