Typically when I take the girls anywhere public it's a lot of work. One or both of them need heavy supervision to ensure their safety. I'm usually running, hefting, buckling, unbuckling, baby wiping, holding hands, etc. This week I found one blessed exception to this routine: the splash park. The water immediately drains so there's no drowning threat. They're not even remotely exciting for bigger kids so there's no accidental collision threat. There aren't any structures to climb on so there isn't a falling-and-breaking-a-wrist threat. For the first time as a mother I sat back with my friends and chatted while watching the girls.
A bucket was the only accessory!
It was the most relaxing afternoon I've had in a while. Thanks splash pad!
