Why I Love The Splash Park

Hanging out with toddlers in bathing suits - almost everyone's thighs are chubbier than mine.

It opens at 8 a.m.

When my hair's wet no one can tell that I haven't showered.

No one wants to get their cell phone wet, so they don't stand around having loud private conversations into their phone.

Water play in the sun has been scientifically proven to induce euphoria. (The euphoria lingers almost as long as it takes to pull out of the parking lot; ironically, that's exactly how long it takes your ravenous, exhausted kid to realize that the snacks are gone and wet bathing suits turn cold in the air-conditioned car.)

What did people do before swim diapers? I remember stripping down to our underwear to play with the neighbor's hose/sprinkler and I know we didn't wear diapers under our bathing suits when we went in the commmunity pool. Don't tell me we were all swimming in each others pee! Or worse!!
