Sprinkler Park

Today it was HOT! For the first time it actually felt like it was summer.....our playgroup met at the sprinkler park this morning and the kids had a blast! 




The moms take turns watching the kids and working out and I will just say that my head nearly exploded while I was running! When I got back to the sprinkler park it was all I could do to keep myself from standing under the big bucket that dumped water on your head.....I did resist the urge and maintained my composure as much as possible....You know, just guzzling water and laying in the shade crying....

Owen was cool as a cucumber and napped in his stroller most of the morning.....and when he woke up he made sure not to crack a smile....sooooo serious Owen!


And Parker spent most of his time climbing the large, might I add HOT and dangerous, rock that was beside the sprinkler pad. Seriously, whose idea was it to put this rock right next to a large slab of wet pavement? Who would put something like this next to the sprinkler park? What 3-year-old boy could resist? 


Anyway.....we had a great time and I can't wait to go again.....minus the running 3 miles in 92 degrees.....

Oh, and when we got to the park there was an older boy riding his scooter through the sprinklers and Parker says, "Mom, you didn't tell me this was a SCOOTER sprinkler park!?!?" Ha!

That looks like so much fun! Where is it? I don't remember that being in Hastings. Glad you are enjoying summer! We have had a lot of rain but the boys have made the best of it by jumping in lots of puddles!!

I really miss our long talks about life and grammar!
