Fun in the water

I took the kids to a park that had a water pad. Now if you don't know what one of these things are, you need to. They are sooo cool. All you do to get the water going is gently push a button on the top of a pole and here comes the water. They have different sprinklers set up, and hoses, and waterfalls that go off at different times. It is very neat! The kids were a little scared at first, but once they got use to playing in the mud along the side of it, they realized that playing in the water was just as fun. So if you don't have one in your city (we are lucky to have a few, and the best part is that they are free!) then you need to start hounding your town or city council to get one. Every kid needs to have one of these water pads to play in!!
