Some Birkdale Fun

Today after school my cousin and I decided to take our boys out to eat and then to play in the fountains. We took them to eat at the delicious Eez Sushi Restaurant. The boys were so cute eating with their chopsticks...no I didn't get pictures...but they ate all of their food. Damon even got brave and decided to eat some of my sushi. In fact, he took one roll and put the entire thing in his mouth! It took several minutes for him to actually finish it. In the end, he really enjoyed it...I was kind of shocked.

After dinner we walked over to the fountains. Now this is water that shoots out of the ground at all different heights. Kids from all over get in their bathing suits and just go crazy. The nice thing is, during the summer they have live bands playing a variety of music so the parents can enjoy themselves as well.

You have to be careful when running around the fountain because inevitably two children will collide. My son happened to be one of them...twice. First he accidentally ran into a toddler who was walking along. He didn't so much run right into her as he wasn't looking and tripped her. She started to cry and then he started to cry out of embarrassment. The next incident was up against a hefty boy that knocked Damon completely on his bottom. Damon looked at me while laying on the ground and just as he was about to let those tears flow I told him to "shake it off" and he got up and kept going.

Time went by so fast the next thing we knew it was 9:45 and completely dark. Time to go home...I was exhausted.
