We were feeling sequestered in our home trying to keep Mitchell at a reasonable temperature, so we opted to head out after church to Winton Woods - a park near where Chris grew up. We outfitted M with the new cooling vest I got him. Essentially you soak it in 2 cups of water 30 minutes before going out. Wring out the excess and it is to keep you cool as your body eventually evaporates the water from the vest. At first I didn't see the science in it, after seeing it thinking, "Couldn't a wet towel or sponge work?" But it did the trick.
We were pleasantly surprised by there being a water park there, called "Parky's Ark". A spare pair of shorts in our bag sufficed as a suit for Luke and he had a delightful day until the area needed to close indefinitely since a bigger kid made a "mess" on one of the sprinkler animals. Oh well, it was time to go anyway!
