We finally had a free enough evening that the kids could cash in their reward they got from the kindness meter and pick to go to any park they wanted. Today was the first day the new splash pad opened and they all wanted to go to it regardless of the cool weather we had. Despite how the pictures look the water was freezing and the sun was setting so they didn't even have the sun to warm them. They would run through the sprinklers and then come stand by me shivering until they got enough courage to do it again.
Zany briefly splashes through the pad
Archy follows her
Archy was really taken with these rings
Quinton squirts McCoy
McCoy retaliates
That was a brave run by McCoy
Quinton helps Archy fire
It's way funner to shot than help
Archy doesn't have much meat to keep warm with and was really bothered by how cold the water was. He expressed his dislike of it and in fact gave me a little tirade that concluded with, "I hate you mom you didn't bring any towels!" He is a passionate little guy who isn't supposed to say hate but is often driven to it.
Angry Archy
Horrified to learn we forgot the towels
Eddy and Quinton have a shootout
I dared Eddy to run through this row of rings and he turned me down since it was miserably cold but I bribed him with a Mexican coke in a glass bottle. He did it. Then immediately wanted to go home to change.
Eddy tests out the sprinkler rings and earns a coke
It is so nice to have a new park in town and this will be a very popular place maybe when it is a bit warmer though!
