Splash Pad!

Jack loved the tunnel! He ran up the steps and down the tunnel over and over again and said "tunnel" about a million times! This is Clara's favorite way to swing... in case you ever wondered!
Clara loves playgrounds, especially the really high and scary stuff! I freak out the whole time she is playing! But she is a really great climber! (Don't worry, she couldn't get any higher!)
Jack loved these guns, he would hang from them and say something over and over again.. Tara and I never figured out what it was!
Clara really loved watching the older kids play in the water.. she never would stand under anything to get wet!
This is as brave as she got! Running under water is not her cup of tea!
But she loves to splash in the water and make feet prints!
Here is a link to tell you about this great place and how to get there!

Clara and I met Tara and Jack, Jack at the Splash Pad in Gardendale Friday and it was a blast! We almost didn't make it there because the directions took me into some scary looking part of town on the North side of Birmingham and I freaked out... I hit the "home" button on the GPS and started driving as fast as I could in that direction, but then I found 65 again and started back towards the Splash Pad! When we got there Clara started yelling "Fankyou, fankyou mommy, this is awesome"!! She was so excited, at first she didn't want to get wet, but then she saw how much fun wild man Jack was having ans she jumped right in! This place is really cool. It had water coming out of all these really fun things that were in the ground, like water guns, buckets, and tunnels and then it had a great big playground. The best part was that it was all FREE!!! We will definitely be going back!
