Geocache Description:


I love playgrounds! I come here to make friends! And to play. This is one of my favorite playgrounds because there are always other kids here.

Gramma (Mrs.Hoagie) says... HoagiesThe3rd loves playgrounds, because she loves her Ups and Downs. This cache is no exception. HoagiesThe3rd likes the number of steps to the toddler slides. She doesn't know multiplication yet, but Gramma does. HoagiesThe3rd climbed the steps 5 times, but came down 8 times. She must have climbed back up the slide a bunch of times! ! She loves to do that.

This cache is placed in honor of Hornbaker. We were placing a cache nearby when Hornbaker published one a bit too close. But shortly after, he published another that we were FTF on. Thanks!

Thanks to Hornbaker for discovering my arithmatic error first, and congrats to Cad48 for the FTF!
