Lucy and Molly spent a lot of time playing together on the slides, trying lots of different ways to slide down.
For Tina and Fargo.
Here is one more image from that playground for you.
The slide was huge and colored an interesting green, lights from above getting caught along the polished walls.
I used the texture Feathered Gold from Pareeerica on it and loved the surprisingly grungy feel.
Oh, and yes: For the photo I was lying pushed up inside the slide, knowing there was no chance I could scramble back outside from the tube before my son slammed into me. And I could not know when he'd come slithering down, cause the slide bends to the left abruptly above this.
Both kids inside the structure were afraid to try the slide, so I had a good reason for crawling inside it. For the sake of the other kid's parents outside, I pretended to entice my son and the other kid to come down, very selflessly. Only my husband didn't buy that. He muttered something about mad snappers, grin.
