Saturday we had a day planned for a warm, sunny day. Unfortunately the weather did not co-operate with us, and when we woke up in the morning we had to do some changing of our plans.
Cara and Justin had their nephew Curtis for the weekend, and wanted to plan to do something with the boys together to keep them occupied for the day. My plans were to take them to Waterloo park to see the animals in the shelters there, and spend the afternoon at the splash pad.
The temperature and humidity would have made for a great day to be spent with some water fun, but with the rain it ruined it for us. Instead we decided that we would go to Kidzone in Waterloo where they could run wild, jump in balls, and play all day. It was a great way to spend a rainy day, and that way they did not have stay in the house and ask every 5 min if we could go outside and play.
I did not know how much Jaxon would get out of Kidzone, but he really enjoyed himself. Curt and I even had fun...letting the inner kid out in us. We played around in the ball pits...crawled through all the tubs/tunnels and went down the slides. Jaxon has an obsession with baseball, so he loved the ball pit and most of our time was spent in there.
We we come out of Kidzone the rain had stopped so we decided that we would go to Waterloo Park to the see the animals there.

When Cara and Justin picked Curtis up for the weekend all he wanted to see was a donkey. We were able to hook him up with some horses and cows, but were not too sure if we could come through on the donkey. Luckily when we went to the park there was an animal there that looked an awful lot like a donkey. I can not remember the exact animal it was, but in Curtis's books it was a donkey, and his weekend was complete.
We decided to take a walk around the park after we seen the animals to see if it was worth the trip back on a nice day. We walked around the lake, dodging the bird shit and came across a play ground for the kids to play on.
The play ground was right beside the splash pad, and since it has stopped raining we decided to get the boys bathing suits from the car and let them go run around in it for a little while. Thank goodness it was close to closing time and they girls let us in for free. Otherwise they were going to charge us all for going in, even if we were just going to sit and watch. It was a cheep price, but not for 20 min. of fun.

He loved the puddles, but if it was near anything that might shoot water at him we was out of there.
After we got cooled off, we decided that we better get these little boys fed before their good moods decided to take a turn. Thank goodness when we got to the restaurant we had a wait, because we had two little boys that were zonked out in the back seat. Curt and Justin waited in the restaurant while Cara and I stayed in the car while they had a little rest.

Us adults were all tired on the way home, but the boys kept us entertained. Jaxon decided that he had such a good day he did not want to go to bad that night, but when he finally caved and decided to close his eyes she slept like a rock.
