Fountain Time

Today we went back to the park so you could play in the fountain. This time I had a camera! Check out this funny face and posture. The water in the fountain is mighty cold!


You just have no fear about getting wet or cold though. You walk up to the fountain and then when the water comes down over your eyes you spaz out and run away. But after that you come back for more. The other parents were impressed with how adventurous you were. Their kids were a little more timid about going in.


You can see that the fountain, which looks like a constant stream of water, is actually made up of a lot of little droplets. So if anyone ever tells you that you will die if you pee on the third rail of the subway, you can tell them that "actually the surface tension of the water molecules causes any small disturbances in the surface of the laminar flow of pee to grow, eventually causing the pee stream to cut off into small droplets which would not allow the passage of a current". Or maybe not. Not that I would advise this maneuver anyhow.


This clever girl figured out how to stop the water from coming up by standing on it. You were a little upset about this and stormed off.


Gosh darn it. She's at it again.




Wow. This is a good shot. Look at the tiny droplets of water.




I love these two photos. You can see the shadows of the droplets on your face.




You were playing with a lot of the older kids. You even showed them you can kick a ball.


Look who else we saw there. You play with this boy. His name is Kai (not sure if that spelling is right) and he's with his mom. I thought this was a cute photo.


This is a good shot of your reaction to finally getting hit with the falling water.


Eventually you started chattering again and had to haul you back home. Now daddy's wet too.
