Hello there SUMMERTIME! The splash pads and pools have all opened and despite the verrryyyy wet months we’ve been having, we’re still getting out there and enjoying summer. And by very wet, I mean I cannot remember the last day it did not rain, which isn’t normal for us here in Colorado! Even in these pictures you can see the storm rolling in – the storm that didn’t even show up on my weather app (!!!) and the one that made us throw things in the stroller and run to the car before the floodgates opened.
Splash pads are pretty magical right? All the fun of the pool but without being asked to go into the deep end a million times and stressing about the three very small swimmers you have. Here in Colorado Springs we only have a couple and they are only open three months, so they can get pretty crowded and you have to make the trek across town but as you can see by these faces, definitely worth it!
Panorama Park is a new and beautiful park in Colorado Springs located down by the airport. Not only does it have a splash pad, but it has fields to run in and the coolest play equipment. It is a top park on my girls list and if it wasn’t so far away, we’d go more often 😉
Oh, and they also have ice cream! Please note that Millie picked out a Ninja Turtle but she called it “the mean guy” the whole time. We’re thankful for summer!
ok these are the most cute and joy filled summer days I’ve seen in a while!
I definitely am inspired to want to take my DSLR out more often for some summertime fun!
Thanks so much! Yes you do need to take your DSLR out for summer adventures! They are my favorite to capture!
Love getting to see glimpses of your summer and all those pink swimsuits are adorable!
Yes! So much fun!
i love “the mean guy” for the ninja turtle ice cream, haha! we have one splash pad that is 20-25 minutes from our house and it’s so fun! that park looks really cool!
Hahaha! I know! It is so good! Splash pads are great!
Looks like a fun splash park! The rain has been out of control this year, ugh. We were actually about 2 miles away from a TORNADO this week. What is even happening with this weather!
Oh my goodness! Yes, the hail here the other day was crrrazzzy! It’s hard to complain about the rain though, things have never been so green!
