Alan: they are actually being active and getting out there playing and having fun.

Alan voiceover: And I like this too, all the metal and plastic and stuff like that, you know in the middle of a park somewhere and you’re picking slivers out of the kids fingers they got ratty old wood. Winnipeg whether it’s just too rough on wood. Minus forty to plus forty, so I love the idea of this it’s going to last a long time.
