While in Asheboro, we went to this rocking playground, which happens to be across the street to the Elementary School that Erin and Libby attended their kindergarten and first grade years. We lived 4 blocks away and on sunny days we would just walk. That was cool. I always drove them in the mornings, but would walk quite regularly to pick them up. Libby's kindergarten year, was the year that Jacob was born, so I did drive a bit until the spring and warmer weather. I hated waiting in the pick-up line. You either had to wait 20 minutes before school ended, or 30-40 minutes after in the long line that circled a block. I preferred the first, being 20 minutes early and waiting. That way, once the girls were out, they would load into the van and I was off. The school had a playground on it's property, but the ingeniusness of whomever created the under-street walk path to get to the park. Frazier park is so cool and pretty big, that the kids would rather play there. So the teachers would take them underground through the tunnel, to go underneath the street, to go to the park. You can see the tunnel in the picture. Way cool!
