Mud Island

The other day we headed over to Mud Island to let the boys splash in the water. Mud Island is a neat little place where they have a smaller version of where the Mississippi River runs and then they fill it with the "Mississippi River" and kids and adults can walk the path of the river. At the end of it there is a great little water fountain where you can actually run around and "swim". There are no water parks nearby here so there were actually people there in their suits with a little cooler letting their kids splash for the day. Just funny to think that this is their little water park...

The best part for Alex about going to Mud Island is that you get to ride a Monorail over to the Island. Alex LOVES any type of transportation, especially any type of train. This pretty much makes the trip for him when he gets to do this. He wanted to ride the trolleys after this, but since the temp here with the heat index was about 106 that day and I don't think the trolleys have air, we passed on that. Maybe at Christmas time!
