A couple of months ago I went to the park with my nephew. I remember the day
like is was yesterday. The weather was cool and clouds were overhead. I sat by
myself and watched him play and watched everything happen around me. I wasn’t
expecting to find so many interesting things just watching people, but amazed at
what I did discover.
Children were all over the place and were wearing coats
that had their favorite characters on them. A girl had purple mittens with a
teletubby on them and a boy had a blue coat with Thomas the Train on it. One
small boy with green eyes had a hat with a ball on the top. There were only two
mothers at the park and seven children not including a baby by the side of one
of the mothers.
The baby was asleep and was bundled up in two blankets, one pink
and one had bunnies on it. The children were all playing a game of tag and were
out of breath from running around. One of the boys involved in the game fell
down and began to cry. His mother broke away from conversations to tend to the
need of her son.
After a few minutes he was fine. While that was going on, the
other children discovered that when they went down the slide it shocked them.
They screamed with delight every time they went down the red plastic slide.
After a while they started another game of tag. The kids ran as fast as they
could.
They would kick up wet sand all over their backs as they ran. Before I
knew it, it was time to leave as my nephew and I walked back to my car the
thought of being a kid again would be great. All in all, the park was something
that I never thought that I would enjoy so much, but I found it to be very
interesting.
