shelby farms

One of the places we enjoyed during spring was the new play area at Shelby Farms.

That was until the metal slides heated up in the hot Memphis sun.

Whose bright idea was metal slides in an area with no shade? They have recently put a sign that asks you to not use the metal slides (which is half of the playground) until they can grow some plants and trees to create natural shade. They do know how long it takes for plants and trees to grow, right? I guess the next time we can use the metal slides in summer will be in about 5 to 10 years:)

This was Lila's first experience with sand. She didn't know quit what to think. We had to get her used to the sand before the beach!
