the fountain

We had our first visit to the Whirlpool Compass Fountain down by Silver Beach. The fountain runs 12-2pm and 5-10pm everyday. We headed down around 8pm, so it was a little chilly...

... but tons of fun nonetheless. And of course the sunset made it pretty magical. Jack ran around with a huge smile on his face the whole time, with fists pumping.

There are water cannons that shoot off every 15 minutes. We expected Jack not to like the cannons, but he loved it. We left just before the lights came on, due to a temper tantrum, so we'll have to return after 8:30pm to check out with the light shows.

It will only run through mid-October, so we're hoping for some warm weekends before then. I can't wait for next summer, I'm sure we'll be down there a lot!

First Day of School


Jack started his second year of preschool this week. He loves every part of school, and I'm just sad that I won't be able to pick him up everyday and hear about his day. I started school last week, and am still getting used to being back at work. Jack and Ruby seemed to have adjusted fine, but it helps that they have someone wonderful taking care of them. Now I just need to find someone to take care of me at the end of the day!
