I´ve always been afraid of heights, and as we drove into the parking lot of the City Museum, my hopes sank. I gazed at an outdoor jungle-gym that was about 70 feet high! My little brother Logan raced over and started climbing. I stood there in awe. My mom bit her lip. "Don´t worry, I´m sure the museum has many other things to do," she said.
That´s when I realized that the playground was made almost entirely out of junk. There were two airplanes, a fire truck, the arm of a crane, even a school bus connected by wrought-iron slinkys and lots of scrap metal. "An artist collected all this and built a sculpture kids could climb on," said Dad.
"Kids who aren´t afraid of heights?"
"I guess."
