After seeing how much fun Ben had at the Splash Pad we went to while on vacation, we decided we had to check out the local one. We were not disappointed! This past Sunday was a perfect day for it. It was warm and sunny, but not too hot. The splash pad was busy, but not too crowded. It was our first time there and it was nice and easy to find. This pad had all different water spouts. It had misters. It had hanging buckets that would slowly fill with water then dump over randomly. It had a couple of water cannons for kids to blast at each other. It even had a little section of smaller water jets for the little ones!
Ben spent a lot of time studying the water and observing everything around him. I think he enjoyed himself though. He carefully watched the water and splashed around in it. Pat and I enjoyed playing around in the water too. (Perk of having a child- getting to play with all the cool kid stuff!) After we were done with the splash pad, we went over to the nearby park to play and dry off in the sun.
There are some videos of Ben at the splash pad here: video 1, video 2, video 3, and video 4.
We will be heading back there in weekends to come. It was a ton of fun!
