more fountain fun

We posted a few weeks ago a video of Colin playing in the fountains at the Zoo. Well I found another place that has an interactive fountain so we went this week and met Kelly, RJ and Lucy. It was near Waterside in Norfolk and I hadn't been down there since high school so we got a little lost. I overheard Colin tell RJ a few times "mommy went the wrong way"But we finally made it and its so easy to get to and not too far from us. It was a beautiful day. They had a free paint your own pottery, games for kids to play and a steel drum band playing. And then the fountain turned on. Colin LOVED it. He ran around playing in it and would've stayed all day. Until he fell and then he wanted to come home. And proof that Joel was thereJoel slept most of the time. Woke up to eat and then went back to sleep

And then halfway back to the car Colin decided he wanted to stay (this after telling me he was ready to go home) He then cried the rest of the way, woke up Joel who started to cry because Colin was crying. Colin then stopped crying and then started back again because Joel was crying. It was nap time and everyone was crying. So I did what any great mom would do - took this video :) They both stopped crying when I played it back to them and they slept the whole way home. (and a disclaimer - it is rare that they both cry at the same time. Colin rarely has meltdowns like this. So it is funny to me to watch) Colin then slept 3 more hours that day and right after dinner told me he was tired and wanted to go to bed. WHAT??? This is the kid who never sleeps. We will be going back to the fountain again.
