Do your kids get a bit cranky on a hot sticky summer day? Take them to where the water fun is!

We pretty much all know that most kids could spend all day in the water on a hot sticky muggy summer day. If you're looking for a change of pace from the pool or the sprinkler, Connecticut has a bunch of places called Splash Pads, where the kids can have all sorts of splashy fun.
