Tukwila Sprinkler Park (Tons of Photos)

A week ago my friend Carmen invited the boys and I to come with her and her daughter Alysha to the Sprinkler Park at the Tukwila Community Center. I had heard a lot about it, but had not made it down there yet. Oh how I wish I had been taking advantage of this all summer. Hello...it's free and refreshing!

Here was our little pad while we were there. I decided to just pack the lounge chairs and hauled everything over in the ATV wagon. It was really nice to have them...especially since Carmen is about to pop any day now! :)

Love this picture...Owen is so excited about the water coming out of the fishes mouth and look at Alysha lovin' her mama. So sweet!

There are three zones at the sprinkler park and they have to be turned on in order to work. Once they are turned on different sprinklers within those zones will go for a set amount of time and then it switches to other sprinkers. It keeps you on your toes and sometimes gets you wet when you weren't expecting it. I sure enjoyed getting my feet cooled down though.

Owen and Alysha checking out their shadows!

Jack enjoyed himself in the beginning. He missed his morning nap for us to come have fun...not a good idea! He liked trying to catch the water though.

Look at that happy face!

Of course Owen's favorite sprinklers were on the opposite side from where we set up our pad. I just made sure I kept a close eye on him. It was quite busy the day we were there since it was nice and warm, but at the same time it didn't feel really crowded since we were outside.

This was Jack's favorite part...the fish! He loved to try to plug the hole and in turn get Mama all wet. Stinker! :)

This is Jack telling the fish to turn back on.

Sometimes Owen doesn't really know what he's supposed to do until you teach him. It was fun watching him watch the older kids play and then see him mimic them.

Checking out the fun! Owen did really well for the most part. At one point he ended up taking another kids truck and playing with it. Once I told him he needed to give it back he lost it. Lesson learned bring toys!

Jack had just about had it at this point. He is going into total meltdown mode.

Some good snuggle toasty (as Owen calls it) time helps a little.

Yay...time to go home!
