Spray 'N Play

Today we made an amazing discovery: The Springwoods SprayGround. CJP and I were off in search of a playground near our house, when suddenly he started pointing wildly and saying "POOL! POOL!" We pulled up, and sure enough, there it was in all its glory. We immediately went to explore (turns out the playground is right behind here!) and of course, Cody was interested in getting as wet as possible, as soon as possible. We hadn't packed for that.

He was elated. He ignored pretty much everything except this Cody-sized fountain that, amazingly, came out of the ground! He got right down to splash.

The best part -- and somehow this did not cease to be fascinating for 30 minutes -- was that the water would suddenly recede. Where'd it go? Cody would look puzzled, then do a sort of Dance of Sorrow/Dance of Joy thing, and shriek, "UP! UP!"


And up it would come. He was pretty sure he was pulling some sort of Harry Potter, and was quite pleased with himself every time he "made it happen."

Then he would shriek, "BACK IN!" and away the water would go, only to rise up again, much to his delight.


There's video, but I can't get it to upload now. When our Chief Technology Officer arrives home tonight, I'll put him on the case -- because it's FUNNY. : )
