$\"Bob$ <\/a>
My family was invited to the opening celebration of Bob the Builder Water Park \u2013 Splash Works as part of a blogger event.\u00a0 Friday, the day of the opening, started off on a questionable note.\u00a0 A peek into the Coleman home that A.M\u2026<\/p>\n

I was up early so that I could finish a few things before we left for the day.\u00a0 When Reggie woke up, he asked, \u201cDid you check the weather?\u201d I knew that was code for \u201cYou should<\/strong> check the weather,\u201d because I rarely do.\u00a0 When I checked, it said \u201cshowers and thunderstorms\u201d.\u00a0 \u201cOh no!\u201d I thought, because Sean was really looking forward to going to Splash works and I had convinced Michael to be a \u201cgood big brother\u201d and come along.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you think? Should we go?\u201d I asked Reggie. (The event was in Fishkill, NY \u2013 a 1 \u00bd hour drive away and I didn\u2019t want to go and have the event be rained out.)\u00a0 \u201cWell, is it raining?\u201d he asked.\u00a0 \u201cDid you say that you were coming?\u201d he continued.\u00a0 Since my answers were \u201cno\u201d and \u201cyes\u201d respectively, then we went.\u00a0 Of course, I had to make one quick call to the public relations contact to make that the event was still happening \u2013 rain or shine \u2013 which it was.\u00a0 I\u2019m so glad that we did go.\u00a0 We had so much fun!<\/p>\n

When we arrived, we attended a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony with Bob the Builder.\u00a0 The park personnel were so excited to house the first Bob the Builder permanent amusement attraction in North America.\u00a0 At 1,600 square foot, the Bob the Builder themed area is not huge (although it is bigger than the average NYC apartment).\u00a0 It is fine that it is compact though, because it is designed for children ages 1-5.\u00a0 With approximately 50 interactive water play features (slides, swings, geysers, etc.), a lot of fun is packed into that square footage!<\/p>\n

Now, if you are thinking of going all of the way to Fishkill just for the Bob the Builder portion of the park, I would say \u201cdon\u2019t\u201d.\u00a0 It\u2019s much too small to warrant a special trip.\u00a0 However, if you already want to go to a water park, I definitely recommend going to Splash Down Beach and taking your little ones to the Bob the Builder section.\u00a0 You will all have a blast and the kids will be so exhausted that they will sleep soundly that night.\u00a0 (At least that is what happened with my guys.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

We ended up enjoying the entire water park for several hours.\u00a0 My guys were able to enjoy all of the attractions that they wanted to try and <\/strong>to spend some time in the arcade.\u00a0 Our timing was perfect, because the rain started pouring down on our drive home.\u00a0 On the ride home, I asked the kids what they thought about the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s summary: \u201cThis was fun!\u00a0 This is my favorite amusement park.\u00a0 (He says that every time that he enjoys himself though.) Sean\u2019s summary: \u201cThis was the best day. It was even better than ice cream in November!\u201d\u00a0 (Ice cream in November\u2026I guess that is something wonderful in his 4 year old mind?!)\u00a0 In any event, I think that your little ones will enjoy it.<\/p>\n
