Today, I took Maya to Millennium Park for the first time. That place is set up perfectly for kids of all ages, including little-bitties like Maya and Ashley. There's a shallow lake with a very gradual decline beach entry, a humongous beach with very soft clean sand, and this awesome water park-like area called the "sprayground". There aren't any slides or anything, it's just a bunch of different tubes and contraptions set up that spray, dump, and drip water everywhere. Some of the things are controlled by the kids, some things are set on timers. It's fun for all ages! We set up camp at the back of the beach, right in front of the sprayground. As we arrived in the late afternoon, several people were leaving, so there wasn't a soul camped anywhere near us on the beach! We had so much fun playing in the sand and in the water at the sprayground, we never even made it down to the lake! It was the most relaxing time I have had at the beach with Maya.
The girls were free to roam all over the place, chase seagulls, run around in the sand, and explore the plants between us and the spraygound. While Maya and Ash were busy doing toddler things, Melissa and I were able to just sit and relax on the beach blanket and gab about everything women typically gab about. It was awesome! There will definitely be many repeated visits to that park!
