Loose Park Spray Park

It is hot here in Kansas City this Memorial Day weekend so we needed to find a way to cool off. After spending the morning making pancakes for breakfast and then cookies and pasta salad for our dinner with the Eakins tonight, we made our way over to Loose Park to enjoy their spray park! It was super fun for Chris and we are so thankful to be back in a more urban area with all its busy and exciting parks and playgrounds. Here he is enjoying the water...

For most of our visit, he was pretending that he was at a car wash. The occasional water spray that we got on us felt good too! This weekend we have been exploring our new neighborhood. I guess I should say re-exploring as we used to live downtown. Now, however, we are getting to see things from a parental point of view. Yesterday after hockey, we went over to Brookside to visit their farmers market and some of their stores. There is a great toy/science store and even better is Reading Reptile, possibly the coolest children's bookstore ever! I even signed up for a race tomorrow simply because it starts about 5 minutes from our house. We are really enjoying our new hood!
