Fun at the Seattle Center

Today we met up with a group of my friends at the Seattle Center. There was a big fountain there that we were completely unprepared for. We didn't know that the kids could go in it, so we didn't bring extra clothes or towels or anything. That didn't stop the kids from going in though - nor did the fact that it was like 60 degrees outside.

The fountain, it sprayed water to music, all kinds of music - I even heard it play "Smells Like Teen Spirit" once

Me about to get my first taste of sushi

You can see by my expression exactly what I thought about it too

AJ, Andrew, and their friends Ethan and Gibson in the fountain

Andrew didn't like his shirt being wet so he took it off - that's Bumbershoot being set up in the background

Andrew stole my hoodie and snuggled down for a snack

AJ had to wear an extra sweatshirt of Corey's because it was all we had in the car

I thought this picture turned out kind of cool

Petting Zoo

Monday we took the boys to a local park that has a petting zoo, playground, and spray pad.

Andrew's still being funny about getting wet, he played at this park several times last summer and went through the fountains no problem, but this year he refuses to get his pants wet and tries to take them off if he gets splashed.

AJ is really getting comfortable with water, we plan to start him in swimming lessons this fall or winter.

Trip to the water park

A new spray pad opened up about 15 minutes from here, so the boys and I headed down there today.

It was too much for Andrew, I don't know if all the fountains scared him or all the kids, but he wasn't interested in getting wet.
