coolest. see-saw. ever.

This thing is out of control! While biking our way through Bois de la Bâtie yesterday, Tory and I came across a playground featuring a Hags Mobilus, the most ridiculous see-saw meets tire swing meets merry-go-round ever seen by my liability-adverse American eyes. Who in their right mind would insure this brilliant piece of engineering?! Thank God for Europe.
Basically you sit like this little kid, saddle-style, and hold on for dear life as Herr Hags takes you for the ride of your life. Think foot-pushing up and down (á la seesaw) with effortless rotation. The tire is so you don’t break your legs when your partner unexpectedly gets (read: flies) off. It recommends 6-12 years old, but Tory and I put it through its paces with wonder. Truly, though, the thing is dangerous. And that’s exactly why it’s so fun, people.
For the record, it’s a Swedish company. Thanks Henrik!
watson petting zoo part 03: monsieur escargot (switzerland)

On one of our many walks to Geneva, Chris and I stumbled upon Monsieur Escargot, the largest snail I have ever seen.
Unfortunately, he was a bit camera shy so the photograph does not do him justice.
Monsieur Escargot had a much happier fate than the snail we found au Parc la Grange, but I will let Chris share that story.
aïe mon poignet fait mal!
