Splash Pad on Steroids

A few weeks ago my niece and nephew were in town for a whole week while my brother and sister in law went on vacation! It was so fun having them around and it really, really made me wish they lived here! My parents had fun activities planned for them each day and Will and I joined in when it was something he would enjoy. I told my parents about a splash pad in Gardendale. I had never been but heard it was great. It totally exceeded my expectations, and put the splash pad at the zoo to shame!! To be free, it was awesome!! It was just big enough so that if there are a lot of kids, there is something for each to enjoy. There is also a huge playground right next to it so when kids are tired playing in the water, they can go slide or swing. We took John back to the splash pad last weekend and I didn't realize my camera battery was dead until we got there. Major bummer because Will was totally in his element-He LOVES this splash pad. Others were pointing to him and commenting on how "that kid has no fear. He just sticks his head in and goes for it." We also heard, "See that little boy, why can't you do that." It was so funny! He gave everyone there a good laugh. And it was, as always, precious to see him playing with his daddy. I have to give props to John-there were several dads there fully dressed just reading the newspaper while their kids played. John was the only dad in a swimsuit running around with his child. Here are a few pictures from our first visit to the splash pad!

Will loves having someone hold him under the big buckets of water as they completely drench him!

Anything Dylan did, Will wanted to do!

He loved running through the "car wash" with Sutherlan!
No fear-totally loving it!
My sweet little boy!
