Splish Splash

Now that summer is officially here we have been trying to soak it up as much as possible. Arden and Dax have been doing an art class three times a week at the local park. It has been going pretty well, but Dax sometimes gets a little restless during the class. There have been a couple of days when he has escaped from the class and I have had to take him back to his teachers. He is getting better every week and they have been enjoying the class and then playing at the park afterwards.

Last week the temperatures finally broke through to the 90-degree range, which felt pretty warm to us since it was snowing on Memorial Day. We decided to skip our weekly neighborhood playdate at the hot, hot park and head somewhere where we could cool off. Off to the splash pad we went:
It is amazing how much fun a little bit of water squirting out of the ground can be. We got there as it opened and had a great time splashing around for a couple of hours. By lunchtime it was getting pretty crowded (it is FREE, after all) and we had had enough sun so we were ready to leave and make room for some other kids. We had a great time, and I am so excited that they are building one of these in my town!
