Today I went to the park. I like going to the park; there is always so much to do, and I have lots of fun. I've been to lots of parks. I've been on twirling slides, I've been on long and steep slides, and I've been on bumpy slides. I've climbed up ladders and stairs, I've crawled through twisty tunnels. I've seen it all. Or at least I thought so.
On Lincoln Street, there's a park I hadn't been to. I expected it to be just like every other park, but I wasn't prepared for the adventure I was about to have. The adventure began the moment I walked out the door. You wouldn't believe what I saw- a monkey up in the tree! It was a colorful monkey: red, purple, blue, white, and I think even yellow. It was the most colorful monkey I ever saw. I wanted to play with him, but when I looked back, he was gone. (Also, my mommy really discourages tree climbing; my daddy still gets in trouble for it.) I know monkeys only live in jungles, but I am sure I saw it.
Before I knew it, I was at the park, and a triple slide with a twisty tunnel was staring me in the face. I ran across the wood chips, but then I saw a flash of white fly overhead. It was a seagull! I couldn't see any water around, but the seagull must really like this park, too. He perched on a light pole and gave a loud "caw caw", and I made sure to caw right back. That's what you do with seagulls. Two more whirs of white flitted by my face. Two little butterflies were floating through the playground. It seemed like everybody liked this park.Okay, enough distractions, it was time to play. Daddy came along, and he is always a lot of fun. We crawled on our bellies, spun steering wheels, and zoomed down slides. We ran through grass and dug in the sand. I wanted to take my little brother with me down the slide, but Mommy didn't think that was such a good idea.
Soon I was tired and ready for a snack. Today was quite an adventure. Just when you think you've seen it all, you walk down the street, find a new park, and you realize the world is much bigger than you ever could have imagined.
