Childrens Outing - West Sacramento Spraygrounds

by Annie Alves

This was a much anticipated outing for many NMG families. The weather had been in the 100s over the last couple of days, and my kids were looking forward to fun in the sun with their friends. Since the event started a little later in the afternoon, we decided to go to Brodericks (also in West Sacramento) for a tasty burgers and fries lunch. We also indulged in their special ice cream sandwich! With our bellies full, we headed to the Bridgeway Lakes area. I noticed the dark clouds and slight wind, but figured it would be burning off soon and the breeze would be welcoming once it started to heat up. Unfortunately, that never happened! The wind picked up even more once we unpacked our gear. Spencer was anxious to get in the water play area and immediately got soaked with a few other brave kiddos. Owen, on the other hand, bundled up in his towel and quietly ate his snacks with his like-minded friends. We probably would have stayed longer except it started to rain... in the middle of the summer! It was quite comical. We all rushed to gather our belongings before the weather got worse. Even though the weather wasn't ideal, my kids and I still had a great time seeing our friends.
