100 Things--Week #1

So this marked the first week that my kids were out of school, but my husband and I were not.  We still had to work--boo hoo.  So, my mom, the great lady that she is, watched my older 2.  My littlest is still in daycare.  That is ok--one less for her to worry about.  Being that she was in charge, she and the kids crossed off a few more items--#'s 94 & 72--The Sprayground and the park.

We have a really great county parks system here in Monmouth County.  They offer so much stuff.  We usually frequent the Manasquan Reservoir and Environmental Center because they are spitting distance from where we live.  But every so often we take advantage of other parks.  Dorbrook Park offer this amazing Sprayground and playground.  Probably, the best part of it all--IT IS FREE! The playground is beautiful and it has a soft, cushy, impact-absorbent flooring to it.  The area is also designed to be handicap accessible. Therefore it is has wide runways and plenty of railings and handlebars.

The Sprayground is amazing.  I love it.  It is a small-ish contained area.  The kids can run freely and no one needs to worry about them running out.  There are water dump buckets, spraying flowers, plenty of sprinklers, a water table, etc.  Giant umbrellas also surround the area for a break from the sun.  Lifeguards are on duty as well.

My mom took the kiddies there and they met up with one of my daughter's friends too.  The next day, the kids and my mom went to the playground. They had a blast.  Here are a few pix
