Our return trip to the Splash Park was just as successful as our first. In fact, I'd say it was better because more friends were able to join in the fun. Thankfully, the park wasn't as crowded that particular day. The boys had each other for company plus a large assortment of beach toys to keep them entertained.
However, all eyes were on another little boy's toy dump truck. Of course! You always want what you can't have. At one point, our three boys appeared to be plotting a truck-jacking. The potential victim must have sensed the danger because he quickly called it a day and high-tailed it out of there. Wise decision!
With the temptation removed from the equation, the boys went back to playing in the water, and the moms returned to swapping terrible twos horror stories. There's certainly no shortage of dirt to dish. Our boys are feisty and creative! Ironically, they behave the most when they're together. Just another reason/excuse to keep scheduling the playdates.
The only downside to the day was that we weren't able to venture down to the beach. The lifeguards were flying the red flag due to rough surf and a strong undertow. So, we decided not to risk our luck and stayed clear of the water. However, the conditions seemed to attract every surfer on the island which served as a nice sideshow for the moms. The boys didn't seem that impressed. They're a tough crowd!
Baylor and I ended up calling it a day relatively early thanks to his sour attitude. He was exhausted, but didn't recognize that fact. Instead, he blamed his bad mood on me packing completely unacceptable snacks and toys. I knew the real problem though, the fact that he had been up since 6AM! He was passed out in his car seat before we hit the mainland, and that my friends is yet another sign of a successful playdate. Total & complete exhaustion of the 2-year old is a good thing!
