Christopher + Jenn + Sean + Charlie

We lied to them.  Poor Sean and Charlie had started to turn red from the heat, and all they wanted to do was run in the fountains.  We told them that after just a few shots we’d let them run free and enjoy the cool water, and they believed us.  Unfortunately, once we got a bit closer to those fountains it became clear that they were not kid-friendly (too deep and dirty.)  So those poor boys could not play in the water as promised.  I felt terrible.

Fortunately, 20-month-olds get over these things quickly.  A fire truck drove by with sirens blazing, and the fountains were forgotten until another day.  Note to self: check the fountains in advance next time. :)
