Trains Trains Trains

We went to a train park while in Scottsdale.  They had all things trains.  We rode a train, looked at model trains and played in a train.  Breslin had a ton of fun.  We liked it so much we came back the next day as well.

Hey you there... do you have a ticket for my train.

Scottsdale.... Splash Pads


 So we went to Scottsdale, and with temperatures constantly in the  100+ degrees while we were there we had to find a way to keep the B man cool.  They have these awesome things called Splash Pads EVERYWHERE... and they are free.  They have them at outdoor malls, they have them at parks, they even have two of them in the middle of the Phoenix Zoo!  Breslin was unsure of them at first, but towards the end of the trip he loved them!  I wish they had them in Santa Clarita as convenient as the ones in Scottsdale!  Here are some of the pictures of the splash pads.
This was the splash pad at our resort.  This one was pretty intense... it was a lot of water that came shooting out whenever!


We drove about 15 miles to a community center to use this splash pad.  Breslin would have had a great time, except his nap was cut short and the big kids kept splashing him (not purposely).  But this one was awesome!!!!


These last ones were from the one at the Phoenix Zoo.  This Splash Pad was Breslin's favorite.  The water came out a lot softer than the others AND Breslin had the run of the show, he was one of two kiddos at this one!




We did go to one more in the mall that was nearest us, but I did not take pictures!  The B man had lots of fun keeping cool that's for sure.
