I have not taken Kevin and Caleb to our neighborhood parks for a long time, and yesterday (6-4-2012) I did.  Taking them is just like taking myself back to my childhood when I was eight and my brother was five, just like the ages between Kevin and Caleb today.  When my brother and I were that age, we sneaked in and out of the little alleys and courts of our little town, Shima, and never walked a straight line between A and B, just like Kevin and Caleb today.

我很久没有带恺恩恺乐去我们住家附近的公园玩了,直到昨天(2012年6月4日)。一带他们出门,就马上联想到我自己的童年。因为他们走路专走难走的地方,而且从不走直线。恺恩今年8岁,恺乐5岁,正好也是当年我和弟弟的年龄差。想当年,我和弟弟可是走遍了石码镇七通八达的各个小巷落,争先看谁家还有挂烈军属牌子。

This play structure reminds me of the brick and mortar slide (see next picture) that we used to have in hometown Shima.
看到这样的滑梯,我免不了想到小时候整个石码镇唯一的水泥砖砌大滑梯(见下图)。
This was the brick and mortar slide (click the image to see the original web page) that we used to have in hometown Shima--the only one in the whole town.
小时候,我们整个石码镇就这么一个大滑梯。它是水泥砖砌的,原来放在“工人文化宫”,后来显然移到实验小学了。点击照片可到原网页(作者思龙)
This iron horizontal bar (painted in red) reminded me of the wooden bar in my elementary school.   When I was 7,  I fell from the bar, lost consciousness, and was carried home.  I fell because the wooden bar was worn and loose.
这个漆成红色的单杠是钢制的,单杠与柱子焊成一体,下面是橡胶地板。当我七岁的时候,我曾经从西湖小学(后改名实验小学)的单杠上摔下来,昏死过去。因为那个木单杠两头松了,一抓就转动。
Kevin and Caleb certainly had a good time, and did not want to leave even after one hour or so.
恺恩恺乐玩了一个多小时还不愿意离开。看来,以后我还得多把他们带来。
