Its HOTT out there! As a mom of 2 small boys I’m always searching for places where I can take my 2 boys to burn off some of their never ending energy but on days like today and this weekend when the temps are supposed to be 100+ our choices are limited. One thing I do love to do is take them to local Splash Pads and thought ya’ll might be interested in seeing where they are around the San Gabriel Valley!

Here’s the list, let me know if you know of any others that I’m missing!
