Beating the Heat

We have been experiencing quite the scorcher in our neck of the woods lately.  Looking for a way to beat the heat?  Visit one of West Michigan's coast town splash pads, designed by our talented colleagues at <a href="http://www.gmb.com/">GMB a+e</a>! <br /><br />Their most recent "urban beach" project can be found in downtown Grand Haven.  Completed in 2011, this project was provided for by the Rotary Club of Grand Haven, Grand Haven Area Community Foundation and community donations.  The fountains are activated by motion sensors and are solar powered.<br /><br />Pictured below and situated in downtown Holland, just a few steps from GMB headquarters, you will find another great place to cool off this summer.  Designed and built along with the Plaza East building, this splash pad and fountain have become quite popular with the locals.  The sounds of gleeful children cooling off can be heard daily from GMB's front door.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiufVMv2LXnp_t4q1HpbkVY1AKWbYYm-xoKT2YBQ887Y5dWDHgOSXt_VgFKCOsIOLIJichEefnZEBqIDKII1_Z9970Z2LGN3RZ-KxeClO4Fc9Osj_Qx6usMQcfLAAcAsY9weRl4cfsgkVdz/s1600/64040_562473703798502_755850856_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiufVMv2LXnp_t4q1HpbkVY1AKWbYYm-xoKT2YBQ887Y5dWDHgOSXt_VgFKCOsIOLIJichEefnZEBqIDKII1_Z9970Z2LGN3RZ-KxeClO4Fc9Osj_Qx6usMQcfLAAcAsY9weRl4cfsgkVdz/s320/64040_562473703798502_755850856_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhblAYeFFDvDvW5LnsF1efKB4VDsQEvB-Qgk3jcAtsXZXdqdIF7zGW6pg4pqsCCCO2Rvn0KJLqzLvdkxxyClO-iOUI1jCoLEHQsR3jtmU-GeF7Ahon6Od58YjDfV40vfpq2_gZg9JCpPnY/s1600/154421_562473700465169_1920010986_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhblAYeFFDvDvW5LnsF1efKB4VDsQEvB-Qgk3jcAtsXZXdqdIF7zGW6pg4pqsCCCO2Rvn0KJLqzLvdkxxyClO-iOUI1jCoLEHQsR3jtmU-GeF7Ahon6Od58YjDfV40vfpq2_gZg9JCpPnY/s320/154421_562473700465169_1920010986_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_aJuXFsSftqsxJB04CNJJBhsuUxEypvBJpqGNZz5WRisme-VMahJhs_zZ1DPa6lX1y_NEZgxO_TqmTJ-C8dFSwukp8nI_ERJYQmxvjlKHxxFG7DMvsE4jANXBovf3rBxijvDm5mwS4gr2/s1600/559110_562473697131836_831987156_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_aJuXFsSftqsxJB04CNJJBhsuUxEypvBJpqGNZz5WRisme-VMahJhs_zZ1DPa6lX1y_NEZgxO_TqmTJ-C8dFSwukp8nI_ERJYQmxvjlKHxxFG7DMvsE4jANXBovf3rBxijvDm5mwS4gr2/s320/559110_562473697131836_831987156_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiNa8J6biXlbL3jXoDjmyGzX6rIW1FqTh28TlHBV0kNGmwNpfbkuSp1vKm5cf5y7ATMcqaQtOP3vRo5-zDZ72LivTBXpPAdEzzSMKaHib66hbF0UlTEKDyuor7GgruXD1FL412Xyn5CG9V/s1600/1010830_562473733798499_366158038_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiNa8J6biXlbL3jXoDjmyGzX6rIW1FqTh28TlHBV0kNGmwNpfbkuSp1vKm5cf5y7ATMcqaQtOP3vRo5-zDZ72LivTBXpPAdEzzSMKaHib66hbF0UlTEKDyuor7GgruXD1FL412Xyn5CG9V/s320/1010830_562473733798499_366158038_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq59LjWvNIThvyQqevKDKMHx0F1XSyCjiW1dLldF3dS4zK9NqNwdxuY3JkNYWPp3NhZkdrqcwRLgqbI2EQG-zvL3yG9Y8rpJNT9GeX9UGIOj-I6l-kaQ8f1LcTyX_798Ub3xnJdlKtNahh/s1600/1010838_562473737131832_768974114_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq59LjWvNIThvyQqevKDKMHx0F1XSyCjiW1dLldF3dS4zK9NqNwdxuY3JkNYWPp3NhZkdrqcwRLgqbI2EQG-zvL3yG9Y8rpJNT9GeX9UGIOj-I6l-kaQ8f1LcTyX_798Ub3xnJdlKtNahh/s320/1010838_562473737131832_768974114_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Be sure to check them out this summer!<br /><br /><br /><br />
