Ashlyn's New Pool!

We took Ashlyn to a splash park a couple days ago and she loved it! The splash parks are nice because there is not more than 2 inches of standing water so Ashlyn can crawl around and play without us holding onto her like we do in a pool. There are lots of different types of sprinklers and kid toys that spray water. At first if one of the sprinklers by her turned on she would crawl away very quickly, I think it was a little game for her. But then she started going for the sprinklers and trying to grab the streams of water. We were so surprised at how much she loved it and didn't mind being sprayed with water. She could have cared less if Rocky and I were even around, she was busy playing!:) Everyone thought it was so funny that a baby was crawling around, all the other kids were atleast 2 or 3 years old but most of them were even older. I was sooooo bummed that we forgot our camera, ugh!! It was seriously the cutest thing and she was ticked when I picked her up to leave:)

We also bought Ashlyn her own little pool for the backyard! It is perfect size for her and the palm tree sprays water so to simulate the splash park:)
We had to put ice cubes in it to cool it down cuz 3 inches of water can get pretty hot when it is 105 outside!

Daddy loves the pool too:)


She really loves to mall the snake.

She loves to carry her sailboat around in her mouth!
