Tempe Marketplace spray park

Jenn sharing ice cream with the babies (don't think they let her have any though!)

The big kids: Kaity, Mady, Chandler, Olivia

Aaron and Eli thought playing in the fountain was totally fun

Aaron giving the fountain a go

"Oooo, just like the bath!"

"Mom, I'm going to touch the water, and you're all the way over there"

"Got it!"

Happy Aaron!

Three in a row

Such a comedian

Run, run, run

Sneaking up on the water

Stepping on the spray

The new outdoor mall Tempe Marketplace conveniently has a little spray pad. It's pretty simple, just a bunch of spouts spraying straight up, but the kids love it. My friend Jen and I took the kids there, and fun was had by all. You could tell it was time to go when Eli and Aaron (about a month apart) started trying to play in the fountains instead of the spray pad. Obviously the designer of the mall does not have children. The fountains are VERY tempting! The seating areas are by far the best of any spray park I've visited. Great outdoor living room set ups!
After playing in the water we went and got the kids Cold Stone ice cream. I, of course, had to have Coffee Bean.
