Yeah, so when we put this item on the list I was not aware that Scappoose was lame and hadn't actually ever built the splash park that was all over the news last year. Boo.
Then I heard we were getting one in St. Helens--YAY! But then I found out it was being built off private donations and they were struggling to raise the last of the funds for it. Boo. So what did we do? We decided to help out! The kids were so excited to get a brick with our name on it. I then forgot to follow the details as close and didn't realize that the same day we picked berries and I made jam was the same day they were turning on the water for the first time! So, instead of being down at the splash park living it up I was in the kitchen making jam and the kids were playing on the slip and slide in the back yard. Naturally.

They had fun anyways and now that we are back in town and the weather is nice we will have to go over and check out the splash park. $1 to whoever finds our brick first;)
