Wheeeeeeeeee!

The most amazing thing happened today! A lorry showed up at the playing fields and unloaded lots and lots of bits of wood and steel, all painted bright colours, and looking like an enormous three dimensional jigsaw puzzle. Several hours of head-scratching later, Mr Panda had assembled it, and we realised that this was the Super Slider we had heard about. It is great fun - you go in through a little door and then climb up some spiral stairs inside it. then you come out at the top of a long whirly slide that is made of shiny and very slippery metal. It's a bit frightening at first as you go very fast and sometimes land with a bit of a bump at the end. But even the smaller animals were queuing up for another go. We kept going round and round and up and down until it was time for tea. Mr Panda says the slide (he calls it a Helter-Skelter - maybe it's Chinese?) will be staying for a whole week, so we can have as many goes as we like!
