Playgrounds are so last year. The cool place (and I mean that literally) for kids to go now is the SPRAYGROUND!
That's right. It's a playground with water. Big jets of water, small fountains of water, unpredictable streams of water, ships squirting water, and the list goes on.
No, I wasn't a creepy adult hanging around children on the sprayground. I went with my friend Colleen and her adorable son Isaac:
I think his face says it all - it's a really fun place for kids. It was a pretty hot day, but it really didn't seem so bad once you were in the water.
Although, I'm not the best person to complain about the heat to - considering that I was still living in Florida a month ago. I've stopped a lot of cashier small talk in stores lately when they complain about how hot it is outside. Once I answer that I just moved here from Florida, they become very motivated to just finish my purchase and get me out the door.
Sorry, local cashiers, but I can't sympathize with you just yet. Perhaps after I've experienced my first Virginia winter.
I'm with you on the "It's so hot" talk. People here in Chicago are complaining about it being hot and humid. It's 85 and maybe 10% humidity? It's AMAZING compared to Florida! :)
ReplyDeleteThe sprayground does look like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeletePeople in WI are wimps about the heat, too. Although, I will say that on the rare day when it cracks the 90s, our un-airconditioned gym and apartment get uncomfortable quick. I know plenty of people who would be perfectly happy if it never got hotter than 60 degrees.
We had such a fun time with "Auntie" Anne! I feel honored that we made back-to-back blog appearances :)
ReplyDeleteI will say that it did seem very hot today since our air conditioning was broken. But I guess most temperatures seem hot to me now after spending an entire winter in Alaska.
