Winton Woods Splash Park

It has been super hot here in the tristate this week. Almost too hot to even go swimming with the smog and heat alerts. But since it's back to school for Riley and I in a couple weeks, we're determined to enjoy the rest of the summer while we can. So I took my girls and my 8 year old brother in law to the splash park.

Winton Woods is a beautiful park with a whole aray of things to do. It's about a 30 minute drive from our house, but it's worth it. We have been there to visit Parky's Farm  that I wrote about here, which is a great thing to do on a rainy day. But this day wasn't rainy- it was scorching.  


Everyone and their mom had the same idea that we did, because it was crowded!


The splash park is themed like Noah's Ark. Super cute! Inside the arch is a little hut and a slide that goes to the right of the picture.

Not too sure how I got a picture above this one without the kids in it, but this picture shows just how many hot little ones were cooling off at the splash park. There were a lot.


Riley was really reserved about going down the slide, but finally did, and has so much fun doing so. 



She was so proud of herself!


I loved this little rainbow feature. 


It's so hard to get a good picture of the both of them together. haha


The girls have about five matching bathing suits. No, I'm not obsessed... I'm not! 


Raigan LOVES the water! She loves the pool, loves getting a bath, loves loves loves water in general.



 
If you live in the Cincinnati area, it's definitely a spot to take the babes! Here are the hours and prices. 


Oh summer, just stttttttaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy forever.

Splash Park

Last week we went to this splash park on the east side at Woodland Mounds. It was really cute.


It had an amazing view of the Ohio river, even though I didn't do a very good job of capturing it, but you can see it peaking in the background there can't you?


Raigan just kind of hung out in my arms the whole time and was kind of like, "Ugh, Mom, where do you have me today." Riley on the other hand played it up! I was trying to convince Raggie to take a nap in her car seat here, but she wasn't having any part of that. This child loves her bed, she literally sighs when you put her in it. If I would have known that she wasn't going to nap, I wouldn't have carried her car seat across the mile long parking lot so she could nap in shade since our stroller was left in our other vehicle at my husband's work. Anyway, back to this cool splash park...


All the water features were really cute themed! They weren't just boring buckets like usual. This one is a swan, I think?

Nature Trail

This nature trail at Embshaff Woods is really cool because it has an exercise plan along it.

Embshoff Woods

Ok, so this is a park of my childhood as well. But it's new for my girls. I remember going here when I was super little. They had a huge play ship designed play structure.

But now it's gone. They replaced it with this crazy cool contraption:

I think it's supposed to be designed as a spider, or a spider web.






Riley had so much fun with her cousins, and Raigan did too, but that's another post.

Off now to clean my house. I am having a Mary Kay party here tonight. I have been coveting their extra super crazy curling mascara.

Spring!!!!

It's finally warm enough to enjoy the park scene! I packed up our dinner (chicken cor don blue) which wasn't so easy haha and we ate it at the park on one of the picnic tables.

Then we blew bubbles:
