Braden Swenson wanders into a semi-rickety wooden shed on his search for gold, treasure and riches.
"Is there any tweasure in here?" he asks in the endearing dialect of a 4-year-old. "I've been looking everywhere for them. I can't find any." The proto-pirate toddler conducts a quick search, then wanders away to continue his quest elsewhere.
Not far away, Ethan Lipsie, age 9, clutches a framing hammer and a nine-penny nail. He's ready to hang his freshly painted sign on a wooden "fort" he's been hammering away on. It says, "Ethan, Hudson and William were here."
"There's a lot of things that kids built," he explains, looking around at the playground. "It's not adults doing work; it's kids doing work!"
