Splash Park

Last week we met up with some friends and went to the Splash Park. It is about 30 minutes from our house. It is a very small water area to play in. Only about 30 feet long and about 12 feet wide. But you would have thought we went to the largest water park possible. We played for a long time then we had a nice picnic lunch in the shade. After lunch it was back to playing. :)

I took some bubbles not knowing how much fun it would be since we had never been before. Plus I am one of those that bubbles and water go hand in hand since they are so messy. (Let's just say we don't play with bubbles often :) They had a great time playing with them. We also attracted some followers. So if you see some random people in the pictures that would be why. We can't help it, we're just that awesome!! :)

It was a nice day to play in the hot sun. Fortunately, Lauren is a more experience mom than I am since I forgot to bring the sunscreen. I laid it out to bring and walked right off and left it. Thanks, Lauren. Ethan, Jon and Wesley had a great time playing with buckets and cups. They would fill them up and throw the water on each other. Sometimes even spectators. So don't get to close to the "splash zone". Then they got ahold of the water guns. I think the camera even got shot a few times.

Audrey and Renee play so well together. They are both girly, but will definitely boss someone around. :) They played hard, well until after lunch when Audrey took a fall and received a boo boo. But that didn't slow Renee down. She was still in the middle of it. At that point she found the nearest bucket and started splashing the boys.

Landon is so cute. He has the most capturing eyes. He was a little timid at first then he went all in. Once getting wet he kept saying..."no, no" or "no, don't" and occasionally "ut oh". Renee was so sweet with him. She just loves babies, especially "baby Landon". All of the babies she plays with at home are named "baby Landon" girls included.

It is always nice for me to get out of the house with some friends and catch up. Lauren is so easy to talk to and we always have a great time together. And today was no different.

We had so much fun we are definitely going to put this on the list of things to do again. Well, until school lets out and it gets to crowded. :)

Enjoy the pictures...










Ethan picked a flower for Lauren and me.He said "Happy Mother's Day". So Sweet.
