Grandsons do Preston's HOPE Playground (8/5/2016)

Friday, August 5, 2016
First thing every morning it was time for chores.

Dylan fills the bird feeder

He can reach to put the feeder on the shepherd's hook

Pete waters the "floating " plants

Still more water in the watering can

Pete finished the Ninjago Master Wu Dragon from Legos

Afternoon trip to Preston's HOPE Playground Park, a fully accessible playground for children of all abilities and disabilities, established in 2007. The inspiration was Preston, a boy with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), who wished to play in a park with all other children.

Learning Braille panel

Imagination Village

Bank of America "branch"
(Bank of America does not currently
have a presence in Ohio)

Police Chief Pete and Fire Chief Dylan
(who is all knees!)

Car overload!

Dylan gives Pete a push on the zip line

Dylan does not need a push!

Like stepping stones

Operating the sand shovel

A thirteen-year old bonds with Dylan

Boat Swing

And in the evenings: Monopoly.

Dylan and Pete like to "horse-trade" in Monopoly!

Next: Sorry, they are going home tomorrow!
