Our town has two "splash pads" per say. One is on campus and is a bit smaller. The other is in town and is simple but has much larger sprays of water. I thought I would take the kids to the smaller one on campus first this year, to help the girls warm up to the idea of water spraying out of the ground. Typically, the water at the smaller one sprays water up at least a foot or two out of 8 jets, but this time it was only coming up a few inches out of the ground. I think they still enjoyed it, but it wasn't necessarily a true introduction to the idea of water erupting from beneath their feet... When we went to the larger splash pad a week later, the girls were hesitant (to say the least) about the spraying water, but Enoch enjoyed it immensely.

The definite highlight of the small splash pad was Daddy coming to say hey!
This is the larger splash pad. We arrived early (9ish) in order to maximize on the shade. Alaythia got a bit wet, but was not all too interested in the water.
Enoch made a friend (Noah), and they played ball together quite well for the whole hour!
Karis pretty much stayed in my lap, avoiding the water at all costs
