took 'em to the splash park

We hauled the kids the the YMCA splash park for the first time this season the other day. It was the first time that Liam was able to enjoy playing with the water. Andy met us there and got to cool off after a bike ride. The kids love running around and don't even notice that the water is slightly above freezing. And, I forget the sunscreen, so their little redhead skin got a little pink! The hardest part of the fun was getting into and out of our swimwear. We just have a lot of fabric to change! I have a feeling this will be a frequent activity this summer since it's relatively close (25 mins) and "free" for us (with our Y membership).

Yes, friends, that is a tattoo on my little one's arm. This is what happens when I go to work and leave Daddy with the boys :-) (It's an anchor, by the way, in case you can't tell. The one Andy wanted to put on was too big for Liam's arm and said "crash and burn" with a skull and fire-nice. Don't worry, Ewan's wearing that one now.)

I left out pics of the adults in our swimwear. I don't know if Andy would like to be featured in his. You would probably admire his excellent farmer tan from being outside at work contrasted against his paleness. As for me, well, I put the swimsuit on, and it "fits". No pictures of me anytime soon, unless I find a cute coverup to wear over the swimsuit. Maybe.
