.... Beveraton in August, apparently. This outing came in the middle of a nearly week long heat wave that left the inside of our non-air conditioned home over 80 degrees AFTER sunset. After a quick dinner in a dining room like a sauna we loaded the kids into our wagon and stroller and took a trip to Magnolia Park. It was nearly 100 degrees outside, but it still felt nicer than the stifling interior of our house with it's windows shut to keep out the extra 15-20 degrees of heat.
We chose Magnolia because it's right by Whole Foods and we planned to play and grab some ice cream. I should have realized that all three kids would go straight for the water feature. We didn't have any towels or extra clothes, but it was so hot, we decided it really didn't matter and it didn't.
T and Cousin S dive right in
Propper Little Miss A circles the water feature before taking the plunge.
T dances through the water as he watches Cousin S divert the spray.
Cousin S thinks T's water dance is silly
Aunt E wants to be like T when she grows up. Look, she's practicing?
Cousin A eats a Yogurt pop. She's still dry, but won't be for long
Splash!
Uncle S and Aunt E stopped at the park to on the way home from their Anniversary dinner to pick up their soaking children. The Scoot and I removed T's sodden clothes and bundled him in the wagon (padding) blanket for the walk home. He was shivering, but he warmed back up in less than 10 minutes.
Photos and Video taken August 16, 2012 on my HTC incredible mobile phone. I think I bought the cheapest smart phone I could get, but after using it as a camera over the last year and not being satisfied with the image quality (especially when the subject is a toddler in motion), I'll be buying my next phone for the camera. I never have THE camera when I need it, so I might as well get a good camera phone since I almost always have it with me (and sometimes it's even charged).
