Fountains and Lampposts

Last week, Lydia and I spent a day in downtown Salt Lake, visiting an art gallery. The train is free in certain areas downtown, so once we were done at the gallery, we hopped aboard and road to The Gateway, an outdoor mall with a fountain area.

Whenever we go to fountains or other splash parks, Lydia starts out very enthusiastic.



Once she gets her first spray, however, she becomes skeptical.




She then spends her time sticking her hands in safe puddles or small streams of water. Very often, those hands then go into her mouth where she deposits disgusting recycled water. Oh my.




These fountains are a little bit more hardcore than most fountains Lydia has been to. You can't see the spray in any of the pictures, but it comes out pretty strong. She got tired of it pretty quick.



And wandered off to cuddle and flirt with a lamppost.

Don't make fun of the fact that she can find beauty in everything and can make a friend from anything. She is awesome and so is that lamp post.
