Labor Day Fun

It was so fun to have Daddy home for the long weekend! And thanks to Gutav, the weather was humid but not as hot as usual.We spent a few minutes on Monday in The Woodlands at Market Street and Ian enjoyed his first exposure to the fountains.

Water sprays sporadically out of the 20 in-ground fountains. Ian tempted fate wandering around and looking straight into the fountains. Somehow he kept avoiding getting sprayed in the eye by mere seconds...
...at least for the first few minutes we were there. Then they got the best of him.
Then he wandered from fountain to fountain, shoving a piece of bark inside. Maybe he was hoping to plug them all up.
He also tried plugging it with his feet.Eventually he warmed up to the spraying-water concept, and had a great time drinking it, splashing around and dancing to the outdoor music.
Our friends came along with us, and they bought us a fantastic smoothie. Once Ian tried it, the fountains all but disappeared and he parked himself on a retaining wall and drank the smoothie 'til it was gone.
It was a great weekend. It was so hard to let Scott go back to work on Tuesday!
