"Splash Pad"

I've started doing a little playgroup on Friday mornings with people in the ward and it has been great!  Just the social interaction that I need and the outside playtime that the kids need.  Last week we went to the local "splash pad."  Ok, it is actually fountains meant to be looked at an not played in, but they are just the perfect size for kids to play.  And although it wasn't intended for that sort of play no one says not to do it and kids are there quite a bit.

I usually like to stay and chat longer than the kids want to stay, so here they are getting bored waiting for me to be ready to go.

We had quite a big turn out this week! 

I made a summer bucket list for the family.  I also read an article about how we shouldn't makes lists and fill their kids time with things to do... but I think we still get plenty of play time.  This list just helps me to make sure get we out and do things.  My default seems to be just to stay home and do nothing, so having a plan helps us.  I think we can get it all done this summer.  We completed a couple items and are currently working on some more.
