Spring in the playgrounds

The weather last week was very nice here and it really felt like spring had arrived.  That feeling has definitely left us this week but we enjoyed it last week.  The nice weather meant that during Sofia's Czech lesson Ali and I could go to a playground.  As I was standing there watching Ali play on the playground and in the sand box it ocurred to me how much our lives have changed since we moved here.  We used to spend time everyday at one of the playgrounds near us.  I would try different ones to keep things interesting for me and see if there was anything new the kids might enjoy.  Now that the girls are in school and we have a yard to play in so we don't go to playgrounds as often.  I forgot how much the playgrounds are used here.  Last Thursday the playground was packed with kids having fun.  It was nice to be reminded how much enjoyment is had even at simple playgrounds.  I can't imagine having moved here without kids and missing out on all the beauty of the many playgrounds.  I am happy that I had the opportunity to see a side of Prague that many don't get to see and enjoy.
