lucia loved the water wall! if jarrod walked away she would throw her body towards it, motioning with her arms that she wanted to go back. it was pretty cute.

ethan has overcome his fear of the big horse as this photo shows.

jarrod and lucia pass judgment.

lucia's first "slide down the leg of an over-sized horse statue." actually, it might be her second or third time. who knows.

another example of ethan looking like a dork.

and he's off.

lucia was a bit disgusted that i placed her directly in the grass.

"she's the one i was telling you about."

ethan insisted on wearing norah's sunglasses and now we know why. this child is way too cool for school.

band photo.

ethan gets all conceptual on us.

these sculptures reminded me of burned tree trunks.

enjoying the celebrity sunglasses seem to impart, ethan tells the spider sculpture to get lost.

"look how cool that three-year old looks..." "hurry, get a picture, i'm sure he's famous..." "I wonder where he is going after this..." we imagined all those people were saying.

ethan spent a good minute staring at this sculpture before jarrod encouraged him to get closer. it was almost like he was trying to wrap his mind around it on an existential level. but then i remembered he is three.

watching the fishes.

we do a pretty good job pretending they're ours, no?

jarrod took this photo with a sculpture in the foreground. i like it.
