Splash Park



Last Friday, we met up with Julie and Adelaide at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga, which has been the site of most of our shopping/playdates. I realized when we left on Friday that this very well may have been the last time we have a day like that! Julie and Addie are moving to New York City week after next. Although we'll be seeing them this weekend at Adelaide's first birthday party, I don't know whether there will be another shopping opportunity. Baby Gap and Gymboree at Victoria Gardens may not survive!

We made our usual rounds to Gymboree and Baby Gap, checked out all the sale rounders, ogled the new fall things coming in, and schemed as to our buying strategy for them with respect to upcoming sales and rewards opportunities. Then we went to CPK ("see-kee-pay", as Rebecca calls it) and had lunch. Afterwards, we changed the girls into their bathing suits and let them cool off in the splash fountain with all the other little kids enjoying a hot summer day. Adelaide bravely wandered in, and Julie didn't even have to get wet, because she was happy to splash in the perimeter by herself. Rebecca has no fear of the biggest spouts in the middle of the water park, but tried to squelch the shoots of water by holding them down or sitting on them. Both girls had a great time, and we, of course, enjoyed watching them play together in the water.
