The slide is pretty big. She did go down, without much coaxing, and she decided it was a lot of fun. I think we spent an hour in the park because 5 other children (I am assuming they were brothers and a sister) and Cassie had fun playing with them. Since this was the FIRST time I had ever seen kids close to Cassie's age in town, I let Cassie play with the kids for a while before we came home.
