It's summertime! What better way to beat the heat then splashing in the water. My nearly 3 year old nephew recently received his first kiddie pool from his loving parents. FUN! Of course he loves it - it even has a built in slide! We never had a kiddie pool when we were kids. We did enjoy our water fun though since we were resourceful kids! We would turn on the lawn sprinkler and run through it. Tell me that we weren't the only kids to do this! We never did ask for permission before doing so and I am surprised that we never got in trouble for it. Sometimes our water fun would leave our front lawn nearly swamp like! Those were the days. Water parks? The COST for admission to the water parks? Not necessary during our childhood! We would opt for the beach over a water park...
I'm not saying that we aren't going to take our child to the water parks. I'm just saying that during my parents time with children it sure was less expensive AND we STILL had a lot of FUN growing up!
Admission to Knott's Soak City San Diego = $26.99 x 2 Adults =$53.98 + Child's Admission (once he is old enough to enjoy attractions) $21.99 + Parking $10 + Locker Rental $10 = $95.97
Here I am at 40 and with my first child writing "when I was kid" stories...
