Father's Day 2010

This past Sunday was Pete and Cecilia's 2nd Father's Day. I think you can tell from the pictures and blog posts, but we had a wonderful time all weekend. Not only did we go strawberry picking, but we also took Cecilia to play in the park a couple of times. There is a big park just a few blocks from us (Cambridge is amazing) that has a big water sprinkler/fountain system meant for kids to run around in. As soon as we passed by with Cecilia in the stroller, she started pointing towards it and making her little ungh ungh sounds that mean she wants something.

She had sooo much fun. At first she just stood there, letting the water spray her for nearly 15-20 minutes. There were a million other kids (all older than her) all running around like crazy, so I'm sure that was a little intimidating.


As time went on, she became more bold, and tried to touch the jets of water (which are quite strong) and eventually ran around the fountain every which way.


She was in a dress, which of course got completely soaked.



And mommy got completely soaked as well.


She had so much fun that even after an hour, when she was shivering from being wet for so long (but not really cold) and she was so tired that she couldn't walk any more and instead wanted me to carry her and run in and out of the water streams, she cried and fought when I stuffed her into the stroller to go home. So we had to bring her back again...

The next day we got smarter and all wore swimming suits and brought towels.
What a great weekend, and a wonderful Father's Day.
