After a ridiculously hot day exploring (Yeah—check out the temperature reading in the mini van. Did I say it gets hot? That’s 109 folks) it was time to take a break so off we headed to the Big Splash Water Park.
There are all kinds of rides and plenty of shade for parents to kick back. Water slides, wave pool—you name it. This place is pretty big and as long as the kids stuck together, I let them run around on their own.. There’s plenty to keep everyone busy and cool, even an area for smaller kids. The kids had a blast and kept checking in letting us know where they were going and the moms relaxed in the shade. Everyone had a great time taking a break and just chilling in the water, which is the only thing you can do on a blisteringly hot afternoon.
