Splash Pad Already?


The other day was our 2nd splash pad party of the season. We actually did one a few weeks ago when it got really hot in February. That's right.... in FEBRUARY!!!! It cooled down for a few weeks after that and now it's starting to warm up again so back we go to the splash pad. We love going to Desert Ridge because there's lots of fun shops for the mommies and than you can bribe the kids to be good with the splash pad. It's a no brainer win win! The only thing that gets tricky is when you have a kid that's a runner (like mine) who gets away and can hide behind a palm tree and you freak out running around trying to find him. I'm not saying that this happened to me, but if you saw a crazy lady who looks similar to me running around Desert Ridge looking for her kid who was literally 5 feet from her it might have been me! ;) After wearing the kids out from having too much fun we had some lunch and went home for nap time. Way fun day girls! Definitely doing it again soon. =)
This picture is sooo stinkin' cute! Grace was just looking at him like, "can I have some pretzels?" and Linkin is like, "whatever, as long as you don't take my bouncy ball!" haha! Classic!
Something really funny must have happened over there boys!!! =)

Here is a picture of all of the kiddos who came to play: Sotera, Slade, Grace, Linkin, Haygen, Ainsley, Isaiah and Carter. This is after they were done playing and were freezing cold! The weather was hot, but there was a little breeze and the water was icy.

p.s.~ After we changed into our clean clothes and started to eat lunch, Linkin ran back through the water and got soaking wet. Luckily I had done a little shopping so we had an extra pair of clothes to change into. Naughty Linky! =)

Also, this is the same water fountain that Linkin ran through at 7 o'clock at night in December when Desert Ridge did the "snow fall" (bubbles).

I totally know the feeling of "crap, where did my kid go?" Trying not to panic, but scanning all of the kids & saying to myself "what color was he wearing today?"
And then to see him playing by the warm fireplace, usually.
Its warming up here, but we miss you & the gang. Really, we do.
