School's Out Day 1 - Planetarium

For some reason we only had one week of real school for the entire month of October. The kids are out of school right now starting last Friday. They don't got back until Halloween. So in an effort to keep them entertained we went downtown on Friday to the Planetarium. The kids had a great time.

When we left the Planetarium we walked down to where there are fountains. They do a little show set to music. It is a fun place to go in the summer to let the kids cool off. It is not summer right now. When we got there I said, "ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GO NEAR THE WATER!". But there were other kids playing in them. There are paths through the fountains that you can walk through and not get wet so after a minute of watching how much fun the other kids were having I said, "Ok, you can walk through, but stay on the path were the water doesn't come out."

Right. They were soaked in no time. And it was maybe at the most 60 degrees outside. They had a BLAST. They were eating those rock candy suckers. The ones with the pokey dangerous stick in the middle. It took me a few minutes to figure out that they probably shouldn't be running on slick concrete with those in their mouths. Good mommy skills. Just slightly delayed. (if you don't count the soaking wet kids/freezing weather thing)
