Swimsuits are for sissies.
We took the kids to the Westminster Promenade fountains after church and set them free. The only rule? Take off your shoes.
The fountains erupt in cascades of bitterly cold chlorinated water.
We had a few ouchies—mostly surprise face-geysers and scraped knees.
They ran around until the typical June afternoon storm clouds tumbled in from the west.
Ryley was so wet, he used his socks to dry his face. That is the definition of desperation.
Swimsuits may be for sissies, but towels are for the wise. We had no towels. Did I mention the water was cold?
I love it! We have this place on our list of things to do this month.
Love the photos!
Great pictures!

Cute, cute, cute! Great picture of Ryley!
We took Anja to a nearby splash park sans swimsuit last night, too. Her shoes stayed on and got soaked as well. Then she tried to go down the slides on the playground and, of course, stuck to the slide. Fun times, though!
Cute photos!

How fun! Last summer it rained for days on end. One night I was so fed up with the rain, we just decided to go out and play in it. It was such a simple pleasure, but the kids still talk about how fun it was and they want to do it again. I’m waiting for the next rainstorm!

It’s really a shame how your children look nothing like you. 😉

You guys are totally my kind of family. That picture of Ryley is very frame-worthy.

Brrrr!
But fun. It’s been so hot lately that I think that looks refreshing.

Ok, I know I say this every time you post pics of Ryley, but he is just so handsome! He looks like such a kind spirit…and I LOVE the screamers in response to the cold. Oh my word, kids, I can FEEL it!
Looks like they had a blast. Who needs a swimsuit anyway? In my opinion, they are overrated. (And no, it has nothing to do with the fact that I’m 30 and swimsuits are no longer particularly flattering. Nothing at all.)
Great photos, as usual. 🙂
