On Monday we thought it would be a great idea to pack up a picnic lunch and head down to Coronation park for a picnic and trip to the splash park. We did just that but when we got there it was far too busy to park, and the splash park was under construction. We headed down to the waterfront in downtown burlington instead. We found a parking spot and joined the masses of other picnicing people and splashers. We set up our picnic lunch and then panic washed over me. The diapers never made it into the diaper bag! Rose was asleep with a pee diaper no doubt, and would need a change when she woke up. We did have one diaper, but that was not going to tie us over for very long. Even if we asked another parent of an infant for a diaper, you never know if you need 1 diaper for an afternoon, or 6. I spent the majority of my lunch time looking up phone numbers of convenience stores near by and calling them to see if they were a)open (it was a holiday!), and b)had any diapers. One place had pull ups and that was it. We decided we would have to go home and then swing by another splash park after feeding and changing her at home (she peed again after her nap in the 1 spare diaper). So we finished up our lunch, Mike and Paige played with a ball for a while, and we walked back to the car.
Don't worry--Rose wasn't in the sun, just for the picture...in the 1 spare diaper!
Anyway, we made it to the next "splash park" which was very sad. The water wasn't on and there were numerous kids there, Paige included, wearing their bathing suits. Instead it was hot as heck with no relief in the direct sun. We stayed for only a while and then went home and set up a blow up pool for Paige to splash in (i wish i had pictures--she was sliding into it from the slide and having a blast!). What an action packed day. By the time the backyard swimming was done it was about 5:00. And Rose pretty much slept all day....and went to bed late!
