OOoohhHH, how to spend a Saturday? We've been to the swimming pool twice this week and thought about going again this morning. THEN, it dawned on me, our kids love the sprinkler and our new downtown has a huge sprinkler area at Circus Square Park. The best part is that it's FREE. As Matt prepared our delicious lunch of sandwiches, chicken fries, Doritos, Pringles and CapriSuns, I got swim suits on and greased the kids down with sunblock. Once packed, out the door, and in our MEGA-FUN minivan jammin' to Veggies Tales, LO AND BEHOLD, we spotted something amazing. Yet, another, FREE, attraction. The Grave Digger Monster Truck was parked at Advanced Auto Parts. After cutting a few people off and peeling into the turning lane by Krystal's, we (in our swimsuits, oh yeah) got to see the truck up close. It was very cool, and the attendents were giving everyone FREE 8x10 posters and pens with The Grave Digger on them.
Circus Square was loads of wet fun. The kids had a wonderful time splashing around in the fountain. We'll certainly be back soon!
The kids are resting after this busy day. We're heading to Pap and Nana's tonight for a Fish Fry which means FREE food! We hit the FREE jackpot today (aside from an expensive trip to Sam's on the way home that involved diapers and Pull-Ups)!!!
Looks like ya'll had a lot of fun and a lot of great ideas. When I first read your post earlier I quickly loaded the boys up to go see GraveDigger. He is Jack's absolute favorite. Well, just as we got there they had just closed everything. Just our luck! Jack was soooo upset! Anyways, let's get together next week! Miss ya'll!
ReplyDeleteMan, I am so bummed we missed the monster truck-we need like a "mommy alert beeper" that we can use to page each other when we run into these type things-i guess we could send out mass text messages??:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like loads o' free fun! We have a fountain park and the kids love it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! I didn't know there was a sprinkler park. Maybe a fun playdate next time I'm in town?
ReplyDeleteFREE!!! Yippee!!!! I love free stuff. What a great way to spend the day. And even better - it was FREE!!!
ReplyDeleteHow neat it must have been for the kiddos to see Gravedigger up close.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to go to the sprinkler/circus park sometime! Call us the next time you go, and I'm with Kim... we need a mommy alert system!
