hot day in Seattle???

Admittedly, there were plenty of cloudy, cool days this summer (as seen in my last post) ... more than I would have liked! But we did have some beautiful sunny days as well, and a sunny day here in Seattle (which there are at least a dozen of a year;) is an amazing, absolutely gorgeous thing!

On one such sunny day, we checked out a new splash park not too far from us. Once we found it;), it was a lot of fun. The kids had a great time splashing around, while I attempted to keep Joseph from crawling into all of the high-traffic splash areas.

This picture is obviously not from the splash park, but I thought it was cute and had to include it. Slippery wet boys meet very high metal bars. I think a 10-year-old boy thought up this combination. James, about to get drenched.

Everybody take cover.

There was also a little zip line at the park which was pretty fun. Considering the absence of a hill, though, it did require a decent push to achieve any type of movement. Luckily for Brooks, big brother James was happy to oblige.

There was also quite a bit of non-wet play space, which all the kids enjoyed as much as the wet stuff.
