The Capron Park Zoo has added a "Splash Pad," for the very hot kids.
The water gets used three times; first the kids cool off, then it drains into the pond, then that gets used at 3AM to water the park lawns.
While the boys got very, very wet, and I improvised to get them comfortable again (I bought them a new towel, but M had to keep his wet pants on, when I packed him a change of clothes, I dropped his clean shorts!) K, grandma and Daddy explored the zoo.
She loved the bubble machine near the hornbills
She danced in the pavilion near the ocilots, to the Latin music from the speakers, she ran across the bridge on the pond to see the lemer islands, she watched the otters for half an hour proclaiming, "See goggy?" to the crowd, and she was ready to go to bed early when it was all over.
