During the week, we walked to Rockville Town Center after dinner. Benji ran into some friends and went to hang out with them.
Tamar and Daniel and I watched the fountains at Town Center, which are designed for children to run through and enjoy. Daniel really wanted to run through them but didn't want to get his clothes wet, so he asked me if we could return the next day. I said that was fine but that he could also run through the fountains today if he wanted to take off his shoes and roll up his pants. Tamar was similarly entranced but also reluctant.
Eventually Daniel couldn't resist, so he took off his shoes and rolled up his pants and gingerly started playing in the fountain.
Tamar decided to join him.
They started chasing each other through the water.
Then the real fun began! They both got completely and absolutely soaked.
Daniel just decided to enjoy the water.
I saw him running towards another (younger) kid who had a water gun and I was worried that he was trying to borrow the toy.
I should have known better! He wanted to help the kid fill the water gun without getting soaked. What a good person! (notice Tamar in the background, also having a blast)
Then, of course, he had to help his new friend TEST the water gun!
Eventually we decided it was time to walk home again. Daniel asked me how he was going to dry himself off and I suggested that he roll on the nearby astro-turf. Here he is, playing with yet another new friend they met that evening.
