A Day at the Splash Park

Since this has been the hottest summer in the history of summers, with temps raging up into the high 90's and even the 100's (and we wouldn't want to forget the humidity!!), we have spent many days at the Louisville Zoo's new splash park. I love that it's only a short ten minute walk to the zoo, and I get to count it as exercise, because I sweat a lot while I walk. The zoo has made some great improvements since I was there last...what was it?? 15 years ago! Wow, I'm old. It's a great zoo, and we have lots of fun! It's even better now that all the kids are in school. Last week Maryn and I got to feed the giraffes. Too bad I had forgotten my camera that day.

Finally, today, I remembered to take some pictures and video. And yes, I was feeling very brave to put a picture of myself in a swim suit. Maryn used to be such a hesitant little girl, but the very first day we went to the splash park, she let loose and had a blast. She loves the water now! I thought I'd share some video of her playing in the fountains. I don't know what got her talking about Cookie Monster, but she seems very excited about it.
