friday fun

The summer heat is killing us (okay, ME) already here. It's June and it's hot. Today, we beat the heat at a super fun place. 

Just a town away is this awesome splash park - you pay five bucks and then watch your kid run around, having the time of his life. 

His Backyardigans swimming trunks were a little saggy, for sure, and kept getting lower as the hours went by, but wardrobe malfunctions cannot stand in the way of a good time, no way. 

I had the easiest gig ever, just snapping a few pictures and snacking on a popsicle, looking cute in my new floppy white hat. I tried to share my delicious popsicle with Thomas but he only wanted to hold it so I could eat it. Apparently, I'm training my son to take care of me in my dotage. 

Fun with shadows! I couldn't figure out what he was doing for several minutes. For those several minutes, I was concerned. I was afraid he was communicating with aliens, with all the weird hand signals he was throwing about. 

Oh! Summer fun! I'm scheming ways to come here every week. It's the perfect antidote to a sweat-worthy summer. And...did I mention they have popsicles?

That place looks fantastic. What I wouldn't have given to have something like that near me when the kids were little! And looks like his Majesty is enjoying it mightily.

there is nothing more magical than kids and water. thomas looks like he's having a blast. at least he wasn't pulling his swimsuit off. that's the first thing my sam used to do! here's to more of those lazy, crazy summer afternoons. and i'll have a green popsicle!

What fun! I can't wait for the heat to arrive here. We're still running the heater, for heaven's sake, and wearing our coats when we go for a walk!

The popsicles are what would do it for me. :) We've also been living it up in the kids' waterparks, and really, there's not much better on earth.
