Splash!

This is the look of a four year old boy that is completely soaked, a little cold, and beyond exuberant after a romp at the splash park.  We are so lucky to live only a ten minute walk away from a very nice park.  One of its features is a spray pad.  We enjoyed some summer days there this year, and I actually remembered my camera once.

Charlie absolutely loves running up to the different fountains and playing in the water!

He also loves running over to the water fountains to get drinks while he's playing.  He has been obsessed with water fountains lately.  Check out how he is filling up a pretend cup in the first shot.  Shortly after this he ran over and told me he filled up my cup too.  Of course, I pretended to drink it.  His imagination is awesome.

The spray pad also has some big guns that you can aim to shoot water at other things or other people.  Charlie loves using them, and has learned the art of waiting patiently until they open.  I think his favorite part is when the person at the other one decides to hit him with their water.  He loves to pretend that he doesn't like it.  And he screams and laughs all at the same time.

Now that Labor Day has come and gone, the spray pad is closed until next season.  I hope that we have as much fun there next year!
