frozen splash pad

downtown Allegan has been making some improvements lately.  They updated the parking area by main street, expanded the library, and now just completed an new splash pad down by the boardwalk.  it was a pretty warm day for the spring, so Ledger and I headed down there to check it out  he was all gung-ho about it, ready to play in the water with the rest of the kids.  His excitement soon vanished once he ran into the water.  It is ice cold!  he was not ready for that.  the weather is kind of warm, but with the water he was immediately freezing- this water was so cold that it would freeze you on a hot august day!  needless to say, our visit was rather short.  He was a bit disappointed about the whole thing, but I just reminded him that Sandy Pines will be open soon, and they've got a water slide!
I'm sure we'll try the splash pad again this summer, but if the water stays this temperature, then we'll bring a scarf and gloves...
