I took the kids to the airport park to play this morning. The park is fairly minimal: a raised viewing deck, a grassy lawn, a few child-sized runways, a sand pit with a large metal spider to climb on...but the few times I've brought the kids here, they've managed to entertain themselves for a remarkably long time. Maybe less really is more.
Today, they crawled in a hole in the bushes and found two glass wine bottles. Those bottles kept them busy for two hours. It's not shown in this picture, but the park was full of fashionable middle-class families picnicking in the park, and my two kids, wearing play clothes, dirty, running around with wine bottles...
