Staying Cool!!


With all the heat here in Arizona, living in Rancho Sahuarita does have some benefits. It is a very family friendly community. At the clubhouse they have a water park. I am not a swimmer, nor do I actually enjoy the water.( I really don't know how to swim.) But, as the kids are getting older, and a little more manageable, we have discovered the water park is a great place for the kids. It allows them to burn off some of that pent up energy. We have been there several times and they love it. It also works as a great motivator to keep them in check during the day.

This crazy bucket dumps water on them about every 7 minutes. As weird as it sounds, they love it. A bell will ring to let them know when it is getting ready to dump and no matter where they are they will run to be under that very large bucket. And yet, it knocks them on their cute little butts every time. We have even been known to almost lose our shorts completely. Cute little plumbers crack!!! :> I just shake my head and laugh.

The best part for me or the added bonus is..... when we get home they head right to the shower and as soon as their little heads hit their pillows they are out. Not too bad, if I do say so myself. Sleep well, my friends, the kids are!!!!!

Ahhhh...the water park! WE are in a heat wave here with no a/c. Really dying....I could totally use the water park right now. But, I am glad you and your little ones are making it out there. We LOVED going there...enjoy it while you can!
