Japanese Parks

The story continues even though we are home.
I have a few more posts left in me about our trip.
The playgrounds on island were incredible.
I think the favorite were roller slides that look like this
or sometimes were really pretty like this
Either way they were all long and fun!
There were the rope jungle gyms 
Cement slides (that were HOT on bare bums)
Drop slides!
Yep, drop, as in hold onto the bar and drop or hold onto your daughter and drop.
Mini zip-lines
Waterfalls and rivers!
Serious fun in some serious heat! 
(i wonder why we were alone most of the time)
