Fun in the...Water

Saturday evening our playgroup met for a family night at Riverpark. We don't get together much with the dads unless it's for a birthday party, and we thought it would be fun to have a family night to mix and mingle and watch the kids play. Boy, were we in for an evening!

It had sprinkled and lightly rained off an on throughout the day, and while we were hanging out under the pavilion a pretty good shower came through. One of the dads started pushing kids in a little toddler car back and forth out in the rain and back under the pavilion. The kids had much fun getting a little wet then escaping the rain for a few moments before riding back into the rain for a few seconds again.

A little while later the children noticed a big puddle just outside the pavilion where the concrete sloped into the grass. Oh, my! What fun they had splashing, jumping, and running through the water! Shirts and tops came off (good thing they are all age 3 and under!) while they played in the water and even the leftover drizzling rain.

Poor little Joshua was cranky the whole evening. He is teething like crazy, plus he wanted to be down to play, but I was concerned about him scratching up his knees on the concrete. It was a rough evening for him, but Rebekah had a blast!

Rebekah stepped out into the rain for a moment then returned to dry safety under the pavilion.

Water fun!


Joshua had fun riding in this car for a little while. At least he was content while riding. This was also the car used to push the kids out in the rain.

Even the walking babies, ummm, toddlers joined in.



And this pic is too good not to post. Rebekah's friend Maggie turned her head upside down in the water. It was too funny!
