Backyard of the Day:

Montevalle Park, Chula Vista, San Diego County, California

Montevalle Park is located at 840 Duncan Ranch in Chula Vista, San Diego County, California.

 

Vi tilbragte en god portion af dagen med kirkegårdsarbejde, så da vi endelig fik os slået til ro i Montevalle Park hen på eftermiddagen, var det ved at mørkne, og jeg kunne ikke ta' ret mange billeder.
Selve parken er ikke specielt charmerende. Det man først lægger mærke til er samfundshuset og de mange sportsbaner. Men der var to ting her, der var virkelig dejlige: Hundeparken og legepladsen.

We spent a good chunk of the day cemeterying, so by the time we settled down in Montevalle Park in the late afternoon it was getting dark, and I didn't have enough light to take a whole lot of pictures.
The park itself is less than spectacular, and is dominated by the community center and lots of sports fields. But the park has two great things going for it: The dog run and the playground.

Efter en lang dags upåklageligt civiliseret opførsel på kirkegården, var Bear glad for lejligheden til at stæse rundt som en vanvittig.

After a long day of behaving impeccably civilized at the cemetery, Bear was happy for the opportunity to race around like a lunatic.

 

 

April, habil expert udi legepladser, gav legepladsen i Montevalle Park et stort UG med kryds og slange. Ikke alene var den stor og handicap-venlig, men der var musikinstrumenter rundt omkring.
På trods af hvilket hun var mest betaget af at sidde og snurre rundt på en stol, til hun var svimmel og havde kvalme. Hun forstår at more sig, ja hun gør så.

The Spud, expert evaluator of playgrounds, gave the play area at Montevalle Park two big thumbs up. Not only was it both big and handicap-friendly, but it had musical instruments scattered throughout.
In spite of which she was most enthusiastic about sitting and spinning in a seat, until she was dizzy and wanted to puke. She knows how to have fun, that one.
