Splash Pad

On Friday we went over to the Birmingham Zoo with some friends. It is under some major construction, so there isn't really a whole lot to see right now. The heat has also brought several animals in for a while, so pretty much our zoo membership is getting us countless rides on the train, carousel, and our newest discovery, the splash pad! I have heard about these, but never been to one. The one at the zoo is definitely on a much smaller scale than some others around town, but it suits Will just fine. The kid has NO FEAR when it comes to water. I watched as most of the other kids slowly went toward one of the fountains spraying up and stuck their tiny finger out to almost touch it. Then there is my child, running with no abandon, right through the fountains, giggling, and turning around for more. The only thing that pried him away from the water was the carousel! Again, sorry for the picture overload. But we had to take lots of pics for Daddy since this was Will's first trip to the splash pad and poor John had to work...











The best shot we could get of all 4 kiddos...


Will is really into zebras these days...

Oh, you're one of those cool moms who let their kids ride the carousel! We never ride anything! haha We went for a school trip last month and Olivia rode the train and it was like the highlight of her day!!

It's just too darn expensive for 4 of 'em to ride!

And LOVED how much he loved the sprinkler!!! Too cute!

They are so cute and I am so jealous! Oh, how I wish we could do fun stuff like this with the boys and good friends. We will have to visit soon. I think we spent $30 at the beach this past weekend for Cole to ride the train. He loved it! Miss you guys!
