Starkey Spray Park

Oh how I wish I knew of a good spray park near us where we could take the children on hot summer days. Instead, our children spray each other where we park the cars.

The boys were helping me water our new plants one hot afternoon last week and got a little carried away with the hose. It started with an innocent dump truck washing and ended with Wesley soaked from head to toe and Jack in his crocs and underwear. By the way, he is only wearing his underwear at my insistence; if it was up to him, he would just be wearing the crocs on account of not liking to get his clothes wet. Luckily this particular day, both of them enjoyed being sprayed by the other. On any given day, this activity can insight yelling, crying, fighting and tattling which requires a lot of referring on our part.



Elise couldn't miss out on the fun. Although she stayed much drier (again at my insistence). She would much rather suck on anything that comes within 6 inches of her mouth anyway.

She probably really wants to eat it, but she has to settle for sucking on it.

For as large as she is, you'd be surprised by how little she eats. Bad metabolism, I guess. Poor girl.
