A sudden change of plans

Last Sunday the 17th the kids had off of school. It wasn't a holiday, so I am not really sure why they were off, but they were. Anyways our plan was to meet up with Marcelle and Sarah and their kids at a local park that has good shade. (It's getting hot these days)

We had just arrived at the park and the kids had been playing for all of 3 minutes when a Mom comes over to us and informs us that her kid has Chicken Pox and we might want to keep our kids away from him!

Seriously! Are you kidding me??

Clearly we left the park immediately and needed a plan B. I told everyone to just come to my house and we could play there. When we got there I knew that the 6 kids really needed to run around a bit, and in the house that was just going to cause problems. The other problem was that it was HOT outside.

Solution: get out the splash pool and find enough swimming suits for all 6 kids!

For such and unplanned play date the kids had a blast! We just let them have at it and they slid down the slide countless times,

and sprayed each other in the face with the hose.

They had so much fun, and so did we just watching them. It was way better than a morning at the park! Sometimes a sudden change of plans is just what we need.

How rude and inconsiderate of the mom whose kid had chicken pox to even take him to the park and then the nerve to tell you and ur friend to keep away!
