Summer Saturday Fun

In Port Neches there are 2 great kid parks...Tugboat Island & the Spray Park. We ventured out last Saturday to play at both! Tugboat Island was amazing! It is HUGE!! It's rumored to be the 3rd largest playground of its type in the area! There are all sorts of tunnels, bridges, stairs & slides! Grace was off & running as soon as we walked through the gate. Luke was more timid (I was shocked)! I think the place actually overwhelmed him...like he didn't know which way to go first! One thing that did stop him was the dirt area. He was wearing his favorite shark Crocs & once he had one foot in the dirt he froze! You see, two things were wrong with this picture... 1.) his treasured shark Crocs were now dirty and 2.) his foot inside the treasured shark Crocs were dirty! So, I scooped him back up & put him back on the play scape area & far away from the dirt. It wasn't long before he was climbing & going nonstop though! He even ventured back out into the dirt once he was good & going...like he completely forgot about it! Tugboat Island was so much fun, however, it was way too hot! It wasn't long before we headed over to the Spray Park. I do see more time spent at Tugboat Island in our future...in cooler weather, of course!

The Spray Park is located right next door to Tugboat Island...conveniently! We quickly slathered on the sunscreen & popped in Luke's ear plugs & before long both kids were all wet! There was water shooting in every direction you can imagine! Luke was drawn to the big water canon type things...he could aim them whichever way he wanted. Grace liked standing under the big palm trees waiting for the coconut to fill with water & tip over on her head! It was such a fun way to spend a hot day!!
