Splash Pad Success


We hit the splash pad today with LeAnn and "baby" Grant, who is really not such a baby anymore! 


Our last trip was disastrous....sunscreen in the eye immediately led to lots of rubbing eyes, pouring water in eyes, and quickly loading up and leaving. Today, this girl was READY!! She took a few warm-up laps along the outer edges and started working her way in. She was so proud!


Grant, on the other hand, threw caution to the wind! He immediately started ducking his head under water, sticking his face in it....and his poor mama probably needed a long nap from chasing him and dragging him back to the splash pad as he made 56 runs for the playground!

I think this was probably the highlight of both of their days. There is too much cuteness in this picture!


After LeAnn and Grant left, Avery Claire got really brave and started to really enjoy herself! She figured out that the kiddie part was more her speed and started ducking in, under, and around the mushroom waterfall. She had a ball!! I had to promise Sprite and another Popsicle to get her to leave (without an embarrassing scene).


So we both enjoyed ourselves a Popsicle when we got home. Let's be honest, who needed it more? The girl who splashed and played in the water for two hours or the mama who baked in the hot sun and tried to keep an eye on that bright pink bathing suit skipping all over the pad?!

Daddy watered the grass this afternoon and Avery Claire had a little more fun splashing in the sprinklers!

I went to pick up pizza tonight, turned around to back up, and discovered I wasn't really as alone as I'd thought I was!!



LeAnn and Grant, we loved seeing y'all today! We're ready to go back whenever you are!
