The local parks and Rec department put on "wet and wild Wednesday" at the park yesterday. The kids and I met a friend and got "wet and wild." We were actually glad that we got there early and helped them work the kinks out because ten minutes after it opened a school bus with a summer care group came, about 100 extra kids! This was a totally Tennessee activity. To me, Tennesseans can get really creative with how they do things. It's not usually polished or pretty, but it does the job. The water slide that they put together consisted of a really long piece of black plastic, some foam bumpers and a fire hose. And oh yea, baby soap for extra slippery-ness. The kids had a lot of fun, until the lines got really long and the ground was bumpy and hard, but it was wet and bubbly!
Later in the afternoon, we had some more "wet and wild," this time with the weather. There was a huge downpour! I don't know how many inches came down in 30 min, but I think it topped Wyoming's annual precipitation! It also hailed for a few minutes. Aspen got a real kick about that! Speaking about Aspen, Thanks to all who commented about her story. She loved seeing her story online, and then knowing that people were reading it and liked it made her feel great! Thank you!
