Splash Pads and Spray Parks

So I recently went to one of the coolest water areas for kids in Philadelphia and I promise that post is coming! For now I wanted to keep it local to new England and tell you all about a few places I know of that we have been to that will keep you cool this summer!
 
The first place is right in my town and its called Colchester Rec Plex its a nice playground with a small spray park. We are local to Colchester so we frequent there often and its always a big hit. It has bathroom facilities a covered pavilion and in the summer there is a concession stand. All the necessities of a good time!
 

 
 
Second on the list is Wolcott Park in West Hartford CT. This spray park is in a great area for anyone in need of shopping and playing! Right down the street from here is Westfarms Mall and many other shopping plazas. The playground is great and there is a pond and cute walking trails. Facilities are available but I haven't seen any place for food so bring your own or take a trip down the street!
 




These two places are the only ones we have been to this summer so far but we plan to go to many more here in this list.

Jessica's Garden

Hey everyone! I have been slacking on the blogging! My kids had salmonella and then we went away on vacation to Philly! That's a blog post for another day! Today I wanted to share a special place I found that I like to call a hidden gem! Jessicas's Garden and Lobster shack! Yup I said "Lobster!".
 
 So recently I made a fairy garden with my girls and I thought how awesome would it be to show them a real fairy garden and maybe even take it a step further and dress like fairies! That is totally optional for you and you can of course just come for the lobster!
 
 
 

 
We decided to head over to the garden for lunch and their menu is amazing, they have smoothies, floats, grilled, cheese, lobster mac, lobster rolls hot and chilled! The garden itself is beautiful and its full of charming little touches. The girls enjoyed the play house most of all!
