Maddie and I, along with some of our friends, discovered a new Austin gem today: Ricky Guerrero Splash Pad located in South/Central Austin. It's almost fully shaded with trees and has lots of fun water features for kids to run through. It's a great alternative to a swimming pool and the perfect way to beat the summer heat. Maddie could not possibly have had more fun. She may be afraid of tumbling at the baby gym, but she's certainly not afraid of water.
