Fun and Frolic at the Fountains

Yesterday, a group of my girlfriends and I took the kiddies downtown to the Bicentennial Mall to cool off and play in the fountains. In theory, this was a great idea, but to Jack - not so much. God bless him, he's the oldest of our group of kids and he was the only one terrified of the spraying water. (The fact that he hates the shower should have been a hint to me.) Lord help us, I see so much of my hesitant, scaredy-cat self in him!!!

Nevertheless, he did have lots of fun running around the monuments and watching all the trains go by, staying as far away from the water as possible! Here are a few shots from our day in the sun:

The forever-laid back, always beautiful Miss Ava in her pink sun hat:





















Parkes, the fun-loving, fearless one:





















Emmy, Queen of the Buddha Belly. Look at her, I could squeeze her til she was a greasy spot!





















It was a wonderful day. I am so thankful for all of the Mommy friends in my life and for all of their beautiful children. We are indeed blessed. Life is good.
