A Trickle Runs Through It . . .

 There is an awesome park in town where a river runs through it (sort of).  It begins with a low waterfall that splashes into a small lake area which then turns into a little river that winds around, goes under the sidewalk, and then down a set of stairs.  The kids love it!  To add to the fun, there is splash pad and a working carousel, too.

We were so excited when we found out Tessa and Paige would finally be in town when it was hot enough to play in the water.  We headed straight for the park. 

The water was off, and the carousel was broken.  Can you believe it?  Since when does the city turn off the water in the most popular spot in the middle of a hot day?  Crazy.  Fortunately, the splash pad and the water stairs were working.  Tessa and Paige don't know what they missed, but I do!  I guess this means that Haley (my sister) and Jason will have to come for another visit!



 At least the frogs were still spitting . . .

 . . . and the fire boy was still spraying!


 Melissa swore up and down that she didn't want to get in the water . . . until she got there!

I couldn't seem to get the twins to look up at the same time!
