We have this awesome park downtown that has fountains for the kids to play in. For free. The girls had just as much fun here as the water park that we shelled out $20 to go to last week.
Both of the girls had a ball in them this year. I like that the water keeps them cool on hot days but I don't have to worry about drownings.

Sienna had no fear

I remembered to bring buckets this time and they were a huge hit.
Plus I found a list: 175 things to do in Spartanburg. And I like lists!
#82. Take the children to play in the interactive fountain at Barnet Park.
Check.
