Last weekend we visited some friends in Ladera Ranch. Their Homeowner's Association has this amazing water park in the middle of all the homes.
For Avery and Camden, it was pure joy for three straight hours. I'm sure it must be in the top five of their favorite days ever.
High above the center of the pool is this big red bucket, with a spout over it that fills it up continuously. When it is completely full (about every five or ten minutes), it tips over and dumps water out on all the kids below. Towards the end of the afternoon, Avery got up the courage to get underneath it, so Josh took her and Camden over near the group of kids waiting at the bottom.
Camden (now the master of two and three word sentences) was a little scared by the sound and the sudden rush of water, and has been reminding me all week,
"Mommy, bucket. Loud."
Despite the lack of naps, uncontrollable shivering, blue lips and pruney fingers after three hours, there were lots of tears when I finally had to wrap them in their towels. But two minutes into the drive home, the exhaustion of course won over...
