42/52 The 52 project, a portrait once a week every week - a spontanious playground stop



Lochy: proudly showing me his clever tricks on the equipment. 
Gav:  Revelling in the total control of water and sand play.

A spontaneous stop in the park on the way home from school was well received by the boys.  It was supposed to storm so the park was completely empty much to their excitement!  Its usually a very popular and busy park but after school on this day there was no waiting turns and sharing equipment.  It was like we were the only people in Brisbane out and about.  Of course after we'd been there awhile people did venture out when they realized the storm wasn't going to happen.  But by then they'd had their fill of the luxury of complete control and were happy then to share.


Of course even they had it completely to themselves they simply HAD to argue over who gets what rope to swing on...


But in the end they are best friends so co-operation on a mutual project was also to be had.

Next I will post our very first experience with a suburban Halloween in Brisbane but that will have to wait until a bit later this week.  I am supposed to be doing homework right now so I am a bit naughty!
