Fun with Klayton

Every summer we try to get together as often as possible with Kelly and Klayton on Thursdays and have a play day. We've gone swimming a few times but a couple of weeks ago we decided to try something new.

The day started out playing on the playground at Zilker Park.

Then we took a ride on the Zilker Zephyr - it's a train that circles the park. We enjoyed about a 30 minute ride. Klayton and Anneliese both loved the train!

We then had to pit stop for food and what better place to go during a day of kiddo fun then McDonalds (or "Old McDonald as Anneliese calls it)!

After refueling we set out to Fountain Plaza. It's basically a small area near Auditorium Shores that has geyser-type sprinklers and small wadiing pools. I'm not sure exactly who decided that this was a good idea or what the exact purpose of it is but apparently people just bring their kids and picnics to this random sprinker slab and let them loose. I think it's one of those totally "Keep Austin Weird" things! Anyway, Klayton and Anneliese had a blast!

They dove right in to the wading pools (or retention ponds, whatever).

Klayton ran right into the sprinklers without any hesitation.

It took Anneliese a little longer to venture out into the sprinklers but eventually she found the fun in them!

Thanks Kelly and Klayton for a great day!
