It is HOT, really, really hot here in Chicago. The heat index has been over 100 degrees for the past few days with no signs of it letting up. Phew. I'm not a big fan of this kind of weather. I prefer it to be 70-80 and breezy.
Friday we went down to Millenium park for a Friday picnic with Daddy. Afterwards, we took Benjamin to the fountains to splash around and get cool. If you've been to Millenium park, they have these amazing towers of water which also have digital images of peoples faces on them. The faces make expressions, smile, blink and also "spit" water out of their mouths at regular intervals, spraying out about 10 feet. The water in between the towers is about 1 inch deep and is full of kids running around, enjoying getting splashed. Benjamin loved it! The funniest thing is that he kept trying to lap up the water like a dog, on all fours. He also does this in his bath and at the pool. We try to prevent it, but sometimes he sneaks in a few sips. (I promise we do give him plenty of water to drink otherwise!) I got especially grossed out thinking about the contents of this park's water (people's gross feet, pigeons, etc.). Hopefully he didn't take too much in...YUCK.
If you want to see more photos and get a feel for what the towers look like, click on this picture and it will take you to our Flickr account and other photos.
