Mom has been taking some time off of work this summer to do fun things with the kids. On Thursday morning we had a play date with Aunt Melinda, Ellie and baby Madeline. We went to two different water parks in search of some relief from the 92 degree weather. The first park at 146th Street had a great playground, but the water park never turned on. The kids played and climbed like monkeys until they couldn't take the heat for one minute longer. We drove down the street to the Hazel Dell water park and watched as the Carmel Parks repairmen fixed the water sensors- it turns out it was a park wide problem! There was a cheer from all the moms and kids when they finished and the splashing fun began.
Alex turned on the faucet...
And let the water pour down!
Ellie checked things out from her favorite vantage point- upside down.
Elena enjoyed being at the park, but didn't like getting wet- surprising since she is a little mermaid in the swimming pool.
Elena preferred playing with baby Mady instead. Mady was an excellent napper in her double stroller underneath a towel, even though Elena kept peeking in at her.
