how much fun Micah would have had at the Splash Pad this summer, I would not have spent the money on a pool pass! I literally just thought of this little park yesterday, which is so unfortunate because it's free and something that doesn't freak me out, yet allows Micah to experience the water environment. Oh well - maybe next year I'll take advantage more...
That being said, we went yesterday by ourselves, and met my friend Carrington and her 3 kiddos there today for a picnic lunch and some splashing fun.
"Oh Momma, this is just so much fun."
"Do you want to come in here with me?"
"No? What if I pretend to be walking the balance beam? Will you come and help me then?"
"Well, okay. I guess I'll just keep playing by myself."
"I would open my eyes, but the water is splashing right in my face!"
"Oh, what have we here? Look at this water squirting out!"
"Momma!! Can you come in now? I promise it's not that cold!"
"Please? This kid is going to get me if you don't come quick..."
Meanwhile..."Oh, this water is just so cold!"
"Maybe if we run it will warm us up quicker."
"Ahh, so much better! Now I can actually touch the water without freezing!"
What fun! I would have joined you, Micah... if only I could have been there!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Gabriel was just looking at this post with me and said he wants to go to the splash park every day! Definitely a good time. And great conversation!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad he liked it! We'll have to meet up there next year so he can teach Sam all about how much fun it is! (Since Ellie will be sitting in my lap where it is safe :) )
