Yet Another Sunny Day


Yes, Grandpa's sunny disposition provided another sun filled day for everyone to enjoy.
The perfect day for a visit to a new playground in Mount Vernon.


















But wait - there's more!!

It's not just a playground - it's also a water park!  And since it was the warmest day we've had so far this year, the water was on.

At least for a while.




So the kids were eager to show off their bronzed and toned bodies.









They did a fine job of avoiding the streams of water.











And then, mysteriously, the water stopped.

We waited and waited but....... nothing.

An indignant young mother next to us pulled out her cell phone and called Parks and Recreation to see what was up.  She was told that the water had been turned on "accidentally" and that water was not scheduled to be turned on until June 1.

Amazing.

So Lydia took up the cause and called them back, patiently explaining that we don't get that many beautiful days around here, there were many kids here with bathing suits on and it's Memorial Day weekend for Pete's sake so come on!

And they listened to reason and turned the water back on.
It didn't take long for the place to fill up with young families.








It was great fun getting drenched.
















Even some of the grown ups couldn't resist.







And while the grown ups weren't paying attention, someone slipped away to steal some chips.





Get some meat on those bones, kid!
