Friday Afternoon at Melrose Park

Friday afternoon Samantha and I planned to meet for a picnic in a local park with Vivian. I had in mind Route 66 Park, which is convenient for her and near Lake Overholser. Sam had a better idea. One of the smaller city parks has a "Sprayground" - the successor to the old fashioned wading pools I enjoyed as a child. Instead of a pool there is a (very) shallow bowl with a variety of fountains and sprays to run in and out of. On Friday afternoon it was not crowded, and we were able to enjoy cool fun on a very hot day. Sam enjoyed a quiet shady spot with a cool breeze and took pictures while Vivian and I got wet.
