My five-year-old granddaughter Annelies is returning to school next week after a beautiful long summer.
She needed a babysitter for Friday and I decided to take her to the Waterpark on Granville Island.
Besides the slides and the water sprinklers, it has remnants showing its logging past and old iron equipment has been turned into tunnels and other decorative art.
The weather was perfect and we spent the day at this children friendly park. While keeping an eye on Annelies, I saw others enjoying the sun, water and sand.
There were plenty of taps and water to fill containers of all shapes, colour and sizes.
Annelies gravitated to the sandpit where her Dutch genes surfaced.
She was engineering endless canals and waterways.
Her little friend seems to be into dredging and hauling away the mud.
A trickle of water to mix with the mud.
A little more dredging to widen the canal
Her little friend changed his mind and was trying out ship building instead.
There were a few newcomers to the park and some needed extra support.
Others were unstoppable
after playing in the mud, everyone came out squeaky clean
Annelies found a quiet moment before returning home. After all, it has been an exhausting day taking care of Grandma.
