Perfect Solution to a Hot Summer Day

Fun and Free! All the parks in Minneapolis (at least the ones I've seen) have little wading pools. There are at least 5 within a few miles of our house. The one we went to was especially nice and Luca splashed like crazy. He fell forward a few times and got a good dunking, but never cried. Not much seems to phase him - even a face full of water. He learned to walk in the water (tried stepping OVER the water), and met a few new toddler friends who shared their toys.
