During our trip to the Utah Arts Festival a few weeks ago, Hayley discovered the fountains at Library Square. I had known that they were there, but apparently I was unaware of the joy that they bring to young children. So today when we needed something that would wear kids out for a few hours, we headed downtown. I didn't tell Hayley where we were going, but I think that she approved of the surprise outing.
Jackson loved it too. The water was just the right depth that he could crawl around without getting a mouthful like he sometimes does at the swimming pool. He kept smiling even after he was full on drenched, and leaking a trail of water off of the bottom of the stroller.

Next we headed in out of the heat to check out the library. After riding the glass elevator up and down a few times, we discovered the Children's Library downstairs, and it's whole Playhouse Reading Corner. Pretty cool. After that, we found a craft that the Utah Museum of Fine Arts was doing, so Hayley sat down to do that, while Jackson happily played with the beads.
Three hours well spent, especially since no money was spent!
Love it when I find a fun free activity.
And love it when it means both kids take a nap.
At the same time.
I love summer!
