We had a really fun time yesterday at the Water Park. It is really a pre-school type water park because there are no slides, just lots and lots of neat sprinklers!
Unfortunately, when we first arrived the water stopped sprinkling!! Luckily in this day and age, lots of folks had cell phones so someone made a call to the city and a city worker came out and tried to fix the water problem. It took them a good hour to get the water on and then it would only work for about 5 minutes and then turn off again.
While we were waiting for the city worker to arrive, our kids made their own fun! There was a drinking fountain that was still working so the kids took turns filling up their buckets and dumping the water over their heads! It was a really hot day, so this helped to cool them down.
After a while, we decided to eat our picnic supper and play on the playground equipment, still hoping that the water would eventually be turned back on.
Our hopes were answered after about an hour. The water turned on. While it didn't stay on like it was supposed to, at least the kids were able to get wet and stay cool.
The kids didn't want to leave once it was time to go. They were able to play for about and hour but they were so worn out from the playground, the heat, and finally playing in the water.
It was a fun day and we will be back again!

Looks like it was a fun day even if the water wasn't working the whole time.
We have something similar to that - it just opened in a park near here this summer. We haven't made it over there yet, but seeing your pictures makes me realize we should go soon - it looks like your kiddos had a great time! :)
