fun at the fountains

Rachel's been bugging me to go play in the fountains ever since school was out.  Tuesdays the zoo brings animals to the founains, and once she found that out, she's really been advocating for spending a Tuesday at the fountain.  Since it was going to be so hot today, I decided we could go today.

Rebecca liked watching, but didn't want to have much to do with the water.

She wanted her bucket filled up with water but wouldn't get close enough.

She got her sister to do the dirty work for her.

Then she enjoyed the spoils by "cooking" with the water in the shade.  She told me she was making cookies.

Rachel had a great time.

It seemed like the animals would never arrive (it was hot and we were all ready to leave!), but they finally did--a turtle and an armadillo (they said because it was so hot the reptiles were the only ones allowed to come today).  

We stopped at Trader Joe's on the way to the fountains and got a snack, which helped pass the time. 

Rebecca couldn't control herself long enough for me to take the picture!  :)
