A Ship Wreck in the Park

We recently had a picnic (on one of the warmer days of Fall) at a nearby park. This park doesn't have a playground, but we found one anyway. A huge (and I mean HUGE) tree had fallen, exposing all the roots. Needless to say, Jude went on a climbing adventure, and the tree became his pirate ship. (The hole later became his bat cave).

Ruby couldn't quite climb this giant yet, but was content to play under the massive trunk. We had a blast. I would have killed to discover something like this when I was a kid! It was the best playground ever. No slide or swings necessary.
