Unsponsored Play

Have you ever read Dave Barry?  He's a humor columnist who always talked about his "alert readers." I feel like all of you are super-savvy and alert to some great things going on in OC and beyond. I wanted to share an interesting video from our own alert reader, Mike, who sent me an e-mail about the IKEA Playreport.

The real action on Playreport happens on Facebook. It makes for some thoughtful viewing and reading. I see an iPhone app is also coming  to facilitate play activities between parents and kids.

What do you think?

Did you know? You can visit an organization's page on Facebook without actually joining Facebook? Try it. Just type in:

https://facebook.com/playreport

Same goes for our Fun Orange County Parks page (https://facebook.com/ocplayparks) - you don't have to be logged in to Facebook to see what readers are saying. I'm really enjoying all the reader input from other park lovers and parents.

So . . .

What's your answer to the last question in the video?
