Splish, Splash , and Treasure Hunting

Day 2 we visited this rather large, free to the public, splash park. It was so nice to have Dad run around in the water with them for a change. I got to sit under a nice shade tree and relax. Or at least relax as much as you can with a baby crawling around.

After playing in the water they did a little treasure hunting with Grandpa Kyle. He brought all his metal detecting equipment and let them go at it. The kids had a lot of fun listening for the different beeps and then picking up, or digging for the reward. They managed to gather just under $6 in change, a few ear rings, rings, and a ton of can tabs. Noah thought it was the coolest thing ever and can't wait to buy his own metal detector.

Noah stayed out in the sun a little too long and we weren't good about making sure he drank enough. As a result he managed to get sick and puked all over Grandma Mona and Grandpa Kyle's front steps and lawn. We were so glad he didn't puke all over their car. Grandpa took really good care of him, gave him something to drink and a cool place to sleep it off. With in a couple of hours he was back to his normal self. I tend to forget that he is a little more sensitive to the elements and should be better about having him eat and drink when we are out and about. As it would also help with his mood swings.
