Fountain with lots of pictures

This is how it started. On Tuesday we saw all the little kids playing in the fountain at first I said no we would come back tomorrow but after we watched them play for a while longer and since Chance had a onesie on so he had something to go in I changed my mind, took his pants and shoes off and let him go. He had a great time. At first he just got close but would not go in so to show him how to do it I braved getting wet and ran in with him. The fountain is a lasting memorial to the 1996 Olympic Games. it is in the shape of the five rings. There are spouts of water all along the rings that shoot up and down in a pattern all day long so if you hit it just right you don't get wet. We were lucky and I did not get wet or rather I was lucky since I don't think Chance would have cared. After a little while Chance was ready to go on his own so I made my way back out of the fountain and sat nearby to take pictures and let him play. And play he did getting closer and closer to the water all the time. He would get splashed but it wasn't until the very end that he was brave enough to walk between the spouts of water. Which is kind of funny because he is so little that he could walk between the spouts and not get wet from them at least not directly he would get sprinkles on his head but he fit between the spouts so none of them would hit him. Each time all the water would go down he would say "uh, oh" and when they would all come up he would say "wow." He is funny. After playing in the fountain for nearly an hour we walked back to the hotel. On Wednesday we were more prepared. I packed his swimming trunks and a whole set of clean dry clothes. He ended up in his socks, trunks and onesie since shirts and shoes are required to play in the fountain. It was a little cooler out and the wind was blowing a little which made it nice in the sun but a little cool in the shade. Did this stop Chance? No! he was ready to go in the fountain no matter what. HE played in the fountain until he was shivering and finally said yes when I asked him if he wanted to get dressed. They have a show that plays four times per day where the fountain spouts along to the music for a few songs. We were able to watch it both days, which both Chance and I really liked. Wednesday we met up with Scott in the park after he got off work but he wasn't quit in time to see Chance in the fountain. Instead we picked up dinner at Subway and walked back to the hotel. My days are out of order now because I went back in time with this post but you already saw Thursday morning (Botanical Gardens) and then we just hung out for the rest of the day until yesterday night when we went to dinner with Aunt Jenny. We rode the MARTA, which is Atlanta's Subway/public transit system, to dinner. Chance really liked riding the "choo choo." Two thumbs way up for Jenny's choices for outings on Thursday because much like the Botanical Gardens, the Flying Biscuit (her choice for dinner) was super tasty and great for kids. It all hinges on the 'good with kids' part and to add in great food is the pinnacle of culinary experience when dining with a 2 year old. It was nice to get to talk in a more relaxed environment compared to that morning. Anyway I don't know what we are going to do this afternoon. And just for those who are paying attention the Aquarium is not free like the informational website said so I don't think we will be going there after all. Maybe back to the park this afternoon if the weather stays ok. We have to concerve our resources since we may have to pay to go in somewhere tomorrow depending on how much time there ends up being between check out time and the time Scott finishes work and then the drive home begins.
