So far, we have managed to keep cool this very hot summmer by checking out the numerous splash pads, wading pools and anything else to get wet. We especially like the splash pad at the zoo, where we spent a good chunk of the afternoon today.
The area is all set up like the water cycle, and kids can go from the rain, to a stream, to a marsh to a lake and finally to the ocean, with lots of animals spraying water along the way.
Speakin of cool, after walking around the zoo, we checked out the drum cafe show (I don't know what it has to do with the zoo, but it was certainly cool). Everyone in the audience gets drums, and they have a little show, where you can drum along.
The kids really got into it and mom and dad had a good time too.
