Trying To Stay Cool

This splash park is literally right around the corner from our house. We have already visited it a few times. Avery just LOVES it. She would stay there for hours if you let her. Some people pack picnics and make a day of it. There are lots of different sprays/fountains that go off and on for the kids to run around in and there is plenty of shade for the parents. It is still super hot, even under the shade, but there usually seems to be a breeze in Houston that feels pretty nice. The big playground is right next to the splash park.

Yesterday we went for quite a while. Avery wanted to take her Webkinz Nemo with her. She was so excited to take him 'swimming.' Sure enough little Nemo got right down there in the water and was spashing around with the best of them. After the end of our day at the park I gave Avery a bath and tossed Nemo into the washer and dryer. He fluffed out just fine.

Avery absolutely loves the water and has worn a bathing suit almost every day since we've been here. I signed her up for swimming lessons, which start on Monday. I am hoping they will be a success.
