Summer summer summer time
Summer has finally arrived in Chicago. Although it still rained today, we had enough rain-free hours of warm and humid weather to hit the splash park this afternoon.
Emmie jumps right in and starts getting wet, unlike her brother who stayed dry for the better part of three months at this park at this age.
She loves it so much, she even went down the waterslide multiple times. She is our daredevil, for sure.
"I swear to God I will cut you if you make me leave this water park." She has perfected that look, just like her father. I swear, she is Mini Josh.
Then we have Mr. Jack. Jack enjoys taking buckets, filling them up and dumping them out in addition to running around the periphery of the water. At no time does he actually enjoy getting wet. He will do it, but usually only by accident.
His legs look like they're going to slide out from under him, but he has excellent balance.
He's actually IN the water. But Jack, look out for the big metal pole with the big metal screws. That pole! The one right... there.
Yep, he ran right into the pole because he closed his eyes to avoid water splashing in them. Seriously Chicago Park District, did you not SEE this as a hazard when you built it? Metal bolts and screws at toddler height are an excellent design element for a water park.
Another week, another unsightly gash on the forehead. It's going to be a long summer.

I love the splash park. We made our inaugural journey this morning where there were the usual newbie moms in full on swimwear. Ha!
Too cute! Your daughter is a brave little tyke for sure! We finally made it to our pool. You guys should venture out to the 'burbs sometime and join us! It would be fun! Hope you're feeling well!
Your Emmie is a little Josh through and through. And Jack, well, I just love little Jack.
that park looks like so much fun, wish we had one in our area.
That looks like fun. Something about summer time must inspire the kids to injury I think. We've had several incidents in our house lately.
