Our community center was hit hard by the hurricane. The pool reopened in January, hurray! Rachel and I go to open swim once a week there and both girls take swim lessons on tuesday afternoons. We love that pool. But the bottom floor of the center is still closed. They are working to raise the money to fix it. Below you can see the photos looking down the stairs to the bottom floor. The blue line along the wall in the left photo was the water line. It was deep, there is still another full flight of stairs around that corner!
There is also a playground on Pier 25 that was severely damaged by the hurricane. This was our favorite fall and spring time play ground, so much fun. It did not have much shade so in the summer it is a little too hot for us. It has yet to reopen and really minimal work has been done to get it in working order. But last week, I was walking on the pier and was so excited to see machinery and trucks removing all the broken debris. It will be a long time before this play ground is open to the public but it was encouraging to see some progress.
Above: This is a picture of the sandbox, I had no idea the concrete was so deep and thick for a sandbox!
Above: This is a walking path/area in the playground, not so smooth anymore :(
Above: Other parts of the playground weathered the storm quite well
We miss this playground, I am guessing it won't be open before we move back to Washington. :(

Sad to see/realize all the destruction. Sad also that it probably won't be open before you leave and the girls will miss playing there one last time.
