The White Trash Waterpark

Sebastian and I made a jaunt down to the local outdoor mall, called The Gateway, this past weekend. We took the train and given the volume of construction downtown was totally worth the $3 fare. 

In the center of the mall there is a fountain built to commemorate the 2002 Olympics. On any given summer weekend you can find entire families camped at the fountain, picnic baskets, towels, they're definitely making an afternoon of it.

I'm going to pass judgment here and despite the fact that while the fountain is, indeed, free, making an afternoon of loitering at the local mall solely for the purpose of getting wet with the wee ones is akin to throwing a couch on the porch.

Yep, my kid ran through the fountain and he did get soaking wet but I justify his lack of "white trash" behavior by saying that at least we were passing through the mall and I had purchased clothing from ye ole Navy instead of making the fountain a destination (and it's a good thing I made a selfish purchase for myself, Sebastian wound up wearing my new shirt on the train as his was completely soaked).
