just a taste.

spring weather in our area is weird. it fluctuates between hot, summer-like days that excite us and give us a taste of what's to come, and cold, wet rainy days that pull us back and remind us that it's not quite summer yet.

so when we get these tastes of summer, we like to take full advantage of the warm, summery days, spending as much time as possible outside.

a month ago (a month!! where did the time go?? no, seriously. it's flying! today marks five months since choi boy's been stateside. FIVE MONTHS!!!), when we hit 80 degree mark, we headed over to our local town center/outdoor mall to play in the interactive water fountain.

at first, choi boy wasn't quite sure what to make of it. he watched in awe (many "oh-wah"s were uttered) as the water shot up to impressive heights and laughed as he watched the big kids run in and out of the water.

he decided to take a closer look and examine the holes in the ground from where the water was shooting out.

he took a walk around the perimeter with his beloved eemo...

...then got sprayed in the face and bolted!

in the end, i think choi boy thought the fountain was cool, but a tad scary, and spent his time inching his way closer and then running away in a fit of giggles.

isn't that covered giggle face hilarious? cb's been doing that a lot lately. he does it when he's really excited but wants to conceal his excitement and play it cool. or he does it when he thinks he's being hilarious. ;)

i love my silly little guy.

can't wait for consistent warm summer days! we're so ready for you!

p.s. just to give you an idea of how weird the weather actually is, this happened the day *before* the chilly playdate/crazy toddler group photo attempts at the park!

  13. Thanks for stopping by my blog! We kind of have the same weather, sun for a while then rain. It's annoying, because I never know what to wear from one day to the next.

  15. That last photo is beyond precious!! I remember how intimidated Adam was of the splash pad in his first summer. He loves it now that he knows what to expect and can move a lot faster!
