Splash Park

We took the kids out of town a couple of weeks ago for the afternoon– we went to Boonville! Why Boonville? Because they have a super cool splash park! Several of our friends had raved about this new splash park, so we loaded up the kids and didn’t tell them where we were headed. They just knew that they were going to get wet.

They were so excited when they saw the splash park!! The hubby and I looked all around for a button to get the water going. (That’s what we had to do at our Gulf Shores condo, so we assumed this park worked the same way.) Apparently, the parks department has to turn the water on and off. Although the splash park is supposed to be “splashing” until 7 pm, they decided to turn it off at 4 pm, a ½ hour before our arrival to Boonville.

We were so bummed!! (So were the people at a birthday party standing around in dry swimwear.) But, the kids had fun playing on the playground and dreaming about what could have been in the water area. We promised to take them back soon so that they could actually play in the water.
