Splash Down!

We have a new favorite activity around our house these days.  The new Splash Pad at War Memorial Park.  It is an awesome way to keep cool during these dog days of summer and run off some excess energy in the process.  Plus...it is free.  And with all the water spraying around, not so dreadfully hot.  The kids love it.  The parents love it.  It's a win win situation any way you look at it.  We've made two trips already and I can see we will be making another very soon. 

Uh Oh!  I think these two may be conspiring against us.

Up I go

This is awesome!

It's more fun if you lay down.

See, then it sprays you right in the face

Loving it!

Where did the water go?

Yes....the water is back

Peek-A-Boo!!

Ava got some time in the swing.  Wheeee!

We finished up our splash pad adventure with a dinner of ice cream sundaes, complete with homemade waffle cones provided by my mother-in-law.  This is not something we do often...promise.  We typically eat healthy, well balanced meals.  But every once in a while, in the middle of a summer of 100+ degree weather day after day, a dinner of ice cream sundaes is just what the mommy ordered.  

So...see you at the splash pad.  We'll bring the ice cream!!
