I met a friend for lunch at our local park today. I didn't know that they had already turned the sprinklers on there, so I didn't go prepared. I had no towels, no change of clothes, nothing. I kept the kids out of the water for as long as I could, but it was inevitable that they would get wet eventually. I took Edward's wet shorts and shirt off in the hope that they might dry in the sun before we left. He insisted on taking his diaper off as well (it was soaked), but I didn't want him to run around completely naked. I had a spare set of underwear for Elizabeth in my bag, so I put him in them! When Elizabeth saw that he had taken his clothes off, she wanted hers off too. I let her take her pants off, but made her keep her underwear and shirt on. So when it was time to go, I put Edward's damp shirt back on him, and the spare diaper I had in my bag. Elizabeth put on the spare pants I had for her in my bag, and we had to go home like that. They sat in the stroller and hugged each other all the way home. Fortunately it's a short walk, and it was sunny. Half an hour after we got home they were both fast asleep!
