letting go

Well, it's finally happened. My boys have successfully slid down the crazy slide at Alberta Park. When they were 2, I said they had to wait until they were 3. When they turned 3, I said they had to wait until they were 4. Well, they're close enough to 4 now and they got to do the slide. Notice the sign on the side of it...CAUTION-NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SMALL CHILDREN.
This doozey of a slide is approx. 16' high and straight out of the 1970's. I have feared this day since we started coming to the park. (as well as the one at Wilshire...I guess it's next!) The boys actually did absolutely fine with it, and felt so BIG and accomplished.
I guess I can't keep them on the ground forever.
