It was back to our regularly scheduled programming today courtesy of Emerson summer school at Aidan's Place, a wheelchair accessible park designed so children of all abilities may play together. The teachers brought spray bottles filled with water for the kids to make sand castles in the large, shaded sand pit. The spray bottles were an instant hit. The children began spritzing to their hearts content. Another popular item was the automatic bubble wand that created hundreds of bubbles with the push of a button. Who has time to blow bubbles these days?
When Spencer lost interest in the sand activities, he wandered off to explore the playground, climbing atop these boxes and joining a little girl to play restaurant in another play structure. The highlight though might have been the construction vehicle station. Not only could you pretend to drive but by pushing a button similar to that at a cross walk, you could release a misting cascade of water from the top of a tall poll, a refreshing and novel activity for a hot morning at the park.
