Splash Pad....Runner Up

I told Chris last year that I want a splash pad in our back yard.

There was a bit of drama throughout this visit.

From here on out, I'm taking hundreds of buckets with me and they will be available to purchase for a reasonable fee.

Julien's vote was on creepy.

However, we did not partake in playtime in the potentially snake infested water.
