Splash Pad!

Burk recently heard of a new splash pad in the middle of Riverdale City Park so we went there last weekend to check things out. It was such a blast. It is awesome because it is in the middle of a group of big trees. We took some blankets and a cooler of drinks and Burk, Chelsy, Booge and I sat in the shade and let the boys play in the water. Next time we will take some grapes and picnic food but it worked out o.k. You have to love FREE fun. Here is a random picture of the whole thing. It is probably 40 feet wide and 50 feet long. (If you know anything about me and measurements, you know that could be severely off) Big enough for the kids to run around but not so big that you can't easily keep track of your kidos.

Rebb, my little fish loved it. He always loves the bath and this was combined with his other great love the outdoors. He gets a little frustrated because he can't quite keep up with the big boys but he will get there soon enough.

Here is my nephew Jace with one of the squirt guns. He didn't like the water as much. He liked the idea of it and would run over there but as soon as the water squirted he would run back to us.
Here are Porter and Diddy filling up the water guns and chillin in the sun. I don't know exactly what Porter is doing with his face. He is really into weapons right now so I am sure he was "really sticking it to a bad guy" or something.

Man I love this kid, snot nose and all. he is so freaking sweet.

A better picture of Porter


It was such a great time. We will be going back for sure. Probably more than once this summer. We were so happy to have Boooge and his family go with us. We always have a good time with them and Porter and Dax are close enough in age they have a blast. I can't wait for Rebb to get big enough to be good pals with Jacer. (actually I can wait, I wish he would not grow so fast)
Anyway we give this two thumbs up. You should check it out. Call us if you need directions, or want company. Happy Splashing!!
