Playgrounds outside for some reason don’t scream GERMS like the ones in say Chuck E Cheese to me. I am of the mind that the rain and nice hot sun sterilize playgrounds. However, they are dirty and require a bath afterwards.
We get germy at the park every day that it’s nice enough. I tell myself I’m building up my toddler’s germ resistance. I even let him play in the sandbox at the park. Fresh air has to be good for kids, even if there are germs too, right?
I’m like Karen that I can do the outside playgrounds, but have such a hard time with, say, the disgusting one at the mall! The kids ALWAYS seem to get sick after that one! Yep. Rain and sun. That’s a good sanitizer – as is Germ X.
One of the best feelings is watching all the dirt dissolve off of the girls in the tub after a long day at softball, riding bikes, and playground time. Ahhhh, bliss.
Dude, I don’t even think about germs ever not even once associated with out door equipment in the 3+ years I’ve been parenting . My mind boggles at all the extra effort germ-o-phobes have to go through purelling and germ xing stuff.
That being said….EW. My girls can play AROUND the equipment, but not in or on. Thankfully I have the defense of “K can get up, but not down” on my side still!! *G*
Yeah, I had to go up and rescue BusterBrown out of one of the hamster tunnels at Mickey D’s. I climbed up there, looked around, and vowed to hose us both down once we were out of there.
I don’t know what it is about kid anything, but whenever I am in areas with high concentration of them, I have the urge to spray myself down with Lysol every few feet.
He is so freaking adorable! What a fantastic picture.
And I always wipe mine off with Wet Ones whenever we leave anywhere – playgrounds, libraries, school, playdates, you name it. But to balance it out I never mop my floors.
What a cute pic! Thank goodness for those antibacterial gels! Playgrounds are fun, but are gross if you think about it too much.

Pleased to meet you!
This here is my blog where I talk about my feeeeelings. I'm Mom to Carson, 7, and Ella, 5. I'm Jennifer and wife to Tate. I like to run and eat nachos. Not at the same time, though. Duh.

Eh, germs only do so much damage. Germ-x rocks though. It makes me feel better even if we’re making a “supergerm”.

I *love* the GermX because it’s usually sold in huger bottles at cheaper cost. Big and cheap. And clean. Yep.
