We've been talking all summer about going up to play in the fountains at the Gateway, so Saturday we finally went for it. We ended up staying for hours because the weather was perfect, Bret found us a great table with an umbrella for shade and of course . . . FOUNTAINS!!!
Shawn didn't let his big brother out of his sight.He made sure he was only two steps behind.
Katy was a little hesitant at first . . .
. . . but before we knew it she was soaked!
We couldn't keep her out!
Jenny was (as Bret would say)
"TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL" :)
She hung out with Mom and Dad for awhile in the shade.
But it wasn't long before she was pulling everybody
into the water and getting soaked herself!
I don't think it will surprise anyone when I say that Tyler had the most fun putting cups over the fountains and watching them fly when the water blew.

Bret suddenly disappeared and the next thing we knew he was back with a bag full of

Shawn was so tired after a while.

Shawn was so tired after a while.But he was so brave to just entertain himself
while the others still played in the water.
It was a super fun day!
It was good to be outside in the sun,
fun to do something different,
and great to all be together!
