Splash Pad! And Other Fun!

While Anna Kate loves water, she has never been a fan of the splash pad. I don't know if it is the element of surprise, the fact she manages to fall every time she is at one, or just that it isn't water you swim in, but she has never been terribly excited about them. She may tell you she wants to go play at the splash pad, but she really means she wants to sit and watch the other kids play in the splash pad. For some reason, one day the other week, this changed, and she played! A little bit- she still doesn't like the larger elements, but she was excited about the smaller water features!

The bucket helped. Next summer we will bring some things to play in the water with.

Check out that face. You know what she was doing? Coming at Mommy to throw water on her!

And just because I'm finally getting some pictures off of my phone, here are some other gems!

Finally got the courage to get out the paints Aunt Laura got Anna for Christmas... she loves them! And is only minimally messy :)

Could her concentration be any cuter?!
