I'm pretty sure that the splash pad must have been invented by a parent of multiple little children who lived in a desperately hot place like Mississippi because it's the perfect way for little ones to play in the cool water without the risk of drowning. This is especially nice for those of us who have a toddler and a newborn since keeping a toddler afloat in the pool requires two hands & lots of attention. It is also great for hesitant toddlers like Enoch because they can engage the water slowly.
This is the splash pad near our house. We've gone there twice now, and both times it has taken Enoch 15-20 minutes before he's feeling confident enough to get wet in the water. As you can see though, once he decides to get in, he really enjoys it! We were there today with some friends for a birthday party, so there were also lots of kids to watch and play with. Such a fun way to spend our morning!
