while lauren was sweating it out at basketball practice
we cooled off at the sprinkler park down the street.
this is why i’ve started to keep a box of cheap bandaids in my purse.
it puts a very quick end to the tears over “bleeding”.
it’s worth the 97 cents per box.
and then our neighbors showed up!
we were even in different town.
annie was screaming with excitement.
(it was great to see you amy)
we were here an hour and it was just right.
not too long and not too short.
and we probably won’t get there again all summer.
but it’s checked off the list….
the rauths - we are kicking a nasty bug today by reading your blog archives! my husband just leaned over and said “find out where in kansas they live … we need to move there.” in no creapy way (since you don’t know us) where abouts in kansas are ya’ll? we have several opportunities we are looking at that include different areas in kansas … we want a small town. any insight? thank you so much for all the inspiration!
Staci - What fun!!! Once again, your pics are AMAZING!!! You are just checkin’ those things off that list right and left! Now, I THOUGHT I saw get a puppy on there…can’t wait to see THAT pic 🙂
carissa - ooooooooh we need one of those! too neat!
those kind of treats are the best!
Amy - Great pictures! Bandaids are a must when you travel with little girls! Too cute!
Lanny Stanard - Okay we need something like that around, my neighbor kids would love that! Have a great day… Lanny:)
PamperingBeki - Yay!! Isn’t that a fun place? And you’re right, an hour is just about the perfect amount of time.
If you guys get to squeeze it in one more time let me know and I’m sure my kids would love to go again.
jimaie - NEATO!!!!
man oh man, i need to MOVE! you guys have such incredible fun!!!
i love the pictures 😀
Amanda Jo - What a fun surpise play date! Those little ones are precious! I just love that little red swimsuit!!
mom - We have one of those downtown in the park. Maybe we should investigate it when they are here. Love Talby’s new suit.
One Wired Woman - What fun!! Water, water everywhere!! ~Jill 🙂
Suzanne - nope, no spraygrounds here either…kansas just keeps lookin’ better & better!
robin bird - i was just going to ask if that was on “the list” when you wrote you scratched it off 🙂 those are some amazingly candid shots you’ve captured their meg! you need a lot of will-power to focus your camera on your crying annie before running over to give a her a hug. i bow to your priority of capturing first and comforting second 😉
xox
amy j - So fun to run into you guys there, too! And together, our two little scared-of-strange-things girls were brave enough to stand under the buckets. Yay for them! 🙂
Ann at mommysecrets - So fun – I love our city’s spraygrounds!! Especially the ones that are located adjacent to playgrounds, so the kids can go back and forth between the wet/dry play areas. 🙂
traci - how fun!! we don’t have cool things like that around here. i would have even played there.
