a sculpture and splash park in downtown called City Garden. \u00a0Dacen was in a funk and really didn&#8217;t want to do anything but once we got to the park and he saw the splash area he cheered right up and had a lot of fun with the other two. \u00a0It was super hot but we stayed cool in the shade of the trees and\/or splashing in the pools and fountains. \u00a0After a picnic lunch we explored all of the art pieces on display in the park. \u00a0They were all fun and unique so we posed and took pictures with most of them.<br \/>\n<a title=\"Rubadub dub\"

we went to the pool again where I worked and the kids played. \u00a0It was a pretty simple and low key day but one that was fun.<\/p>\n<div id=\"flickr_72157670032092936_3106\"><div
