Back at the Splashpad

I love, love, love going to the splashpad.  It's almost like going swimming, but I don't have to worry about anyone drowning, and the big boys can roam free.  There is a good sized, really nice splashpad not too far from our house, but it's always packed, and I think a million kids running on a wet concrete slab isn't the greatest idea.  Last summer we discovered this tiny, but adequate, splashpad, and we only ever had to share it once.  This morning there were a couple other families there, but it was still great.  I hope it remains a hidden gem.  We like having it almost to ourselves.

Last year Eli was not a fan of getting wet.  He would walk round and round the perimeter the entire time we were there.  This year, within about 30 seconds of our arrival, he was right in the middle of things.  He loved it.  We will probably be here a lot this summer.  It's the perfect summer outting for a mom with three little ones.
