Water Park

We went to the Wilsonville town Center park today for the first time this year. McKenna had a blast at this park last year when she was 17 months old. She would look down the holes and then put her hands up like where'd the water go? Then she would peer down the hole and when the water would start to come up again she would squeal and laugh so hard. It was so fun to watch her experience such sheer joy over seeing something for the first time.

McKenna last August at the same park. It's amazing how much she has changed in less than a year!!

This year she was running around like a crazy girl! She had so much fun! She has got to learn to look where she is going though (the other day she ran in to a glass door at the library!) Her and another little boy collided once while they were runing through the water.

She was sad that we didn't bring our buckets, but we had some friends that were nice enough to share their buckets. She would fill them up over and over. In the beginning she tried to pour them out on other little children, so I had to let her know that wasn't okay. Even though she likes it, most kids don't like water poured on their head. Then she folled this one poor older boy around who had this huge water gun thingy that you could suck water up with and then squirt it out. She LOVED it and wanted it so bad. She would just follow him around and wanted him to squirt water in her bucket. It was too funny. That ended when she chased him up a grassy hill and then as the older boys came running down and she followed she went a little too fast and tumbled down the hill. So we took a little break and had lunch and then she was right back in the water. It was soo hard to get her to leave, but finally did it without a major fit! Carter was decked out in his swimsuit and flip flops even though the water was too cold, but he was content in the front pack sleeping and then sitting in the stroller watching the kids. He loved watching the water and the kids run around.
