Nothing beats the August heat better than a wet day of splashing in the fountains with friends. We met up with Paula, Jack, Cristina, Sophia and Alexandra today at the Sprayground, a new splashpad at Riverside Park in Roswell. The toddlers were timid of the fountains and mushrooms at first, but it didn't take them long to enjoy the thrill of the water.
Once I told Miller that the moving water was making a tunnel for him to run through, he warmed up to the idea of playing in the sprinklers. There was no turning back once he took the plunge. He was drenched from head to toe, and even gave me a soaking wet hug or two. One of the best things about the park is that the kiddos can hop back and forth between exploring a dry playscape and the sprayground. All of the park's options make it exhausting to chase roaming toddlers in the heat.
Even Jack's crocodile enjoyed the fountain fun!
We tried to enjoy a picnic lunch on the grass, but Miller can never settle down enough to eat with all of the action going on. I think he feels like he's going to miss out of something. It took some coaxing to leave the park, but we'll make sure we return soon! We had a splashing good time!

We had so much fun! Thanks for the invite. Just had to let you know...as we were leaving, J got brave and decided he wanted to go in the tunnel...fully clothed!! HA! Couldn't do it when Mommy had his bathing suit on--that would have been too easy!
