Splash Park Fun

I've recently found out that Steinbach has a Splash Park that is free for everyone 9-11am, Monday-Friday. As Violet is now old enough to enjoy these types of things, I figured that this summer would be a good time to bring her there.

We started going 2 weeks ago (the day after our beach disaster) just so that she can get used to playing in the water. We arrived there shortly after 9 and it took her 30-45 minutes to be OK with playing in the water. I'd walk around with her in there, let her touch all the water. She'd want to go down to play a bit and then back in my arms, rinse, repeat. After the 30-45 minutes, Violet wanted down and she was fine for the remainder of the time there. She didn't go near any of the big kid sprays, stayed mostly in the little kid area, but she LOVED it. She actually threw a fit when we had to leave.

We've been back at least once a week with this stupid heat that we've been having. And she's enjoyed it every single time. When we went yesterday, as soon as I let her go, she ran over to one of the big kid sprays, stood on top of it (it was a ground fountain) and got completely soaked in less than 5 minutes. So happy. And the fact that some friends joined us yesterday made her evening happy, especially as her boyfriend Kayden was there.

Enjoy the photos!
