While driving along, we spotted a strange object off the side of the road and decided to investigate...

What bone-like structure was this, planted in the center of a frosty field? Sometimes life just takes you by the arm and you get out of the car and go look...

What was it made of? Was it firm or did it have some give? Only one way to find out...Do you see the old steam engine in the background? Yes, there's a train, too!

The afternoon sun was sinking, but we decided to give it a go and climb all over it, cold out as it was. Doesn't it look inviting to play on, like it just begs you to touch it?

The last rays of daylight reveal a yard full of adventure and imagination. The sun begins to set, and no more frost will melt today...

What ho!? Is that a vast, frozen ice pond in the background I see?

Every inch of this organic, man-made structure needed to be captured. I hope you get the feel of it from this post. We enjoyed exploring it so very much!

How strange and unusual to place this here for the children of the city. Thank you mysterious donor for your efforts and creativity. What a wonderful plaything this is which will last a lifetime. Haha! :-)
