Gateway Olympic Fountain

I haven't posted very often this summer simply because the days have been packed with fun things to do. Today was especially fun and epitomises our summer experience. Our favorite thing to do is hop on the train (there's a stop right by our house), go downtown, and have some fun. Today was especially great because we went to the Olympic fountain at Gateway. Here's the trip in pics...

Every other week or so we meet Audrey, a dear friend from work, and head to the downtown library. It's an amazing building with a great kid's section. We look at the board books and check out a few.



Here's Audrey and I on the train.



After the library stop we headed for the Gateway, changed Lucy into her swimsuit and walked out toward the fountain. As you can tell by the way I was dressed, I really had no intention of getting wet myself but as you will see Lucy had other plans.







This fountain is so fun because the water shoots up from the ground in patterns set to music. You really never know when or where the water will be coming from. I was planning on just holding Lucy over the water shooting up from the ground, but she didn't like that idea at all, all she wanted was to crawl around in it. Sometimes the water would shoot up (at fairly high pressures) and get her right in the face. She loved every minute of it.



Usually when I hold out my hands and call her name, Lucy scoots right over to me. Today in the fountain however, whenever she saw me she immediately changed her trajectory and crawled away from me as fast as she could for fear I would pick her up and take her away from the water.





As you might guess, the train ride home included a nap, but not before some light reading.
