Snaps from the Water Fun

I posted a video earlier of our Budapest escapades today. The kids loved playing in this fun new water fountain that just opened next to Szabadsag ter. We spend a lot of time at Szabadsag ter as we like to eat in the city on the weekends. A playground stop before and / or after a meal on a nice day is always mandatory for our troops.







T loved playing controller of the water.



Even though it was such a fab day, the kids got wet and chilly after all the play. We had some drinks in the square center and Mia warmed up with a bowl of soup.

Ali didn't enjoy getting wet in the fountains as much as T and Mia so we headed down the street to Best Sellers English language book store. I wanted to get Terence a couple new books as he's reading through them quite quickly. I picked up 3 copies of the Diary of the Wimpy Kid series. Ali and Mia got little girlie play mags filled with puzzles. Ali loved it as it was full of fun girlie sparkle.

I discovered the below photos on our memory stick. Curt took these while Ali and I were at the book store. He explained why as follows.

He got a kick out of this guy below as he had a pirate flag coming out of his backpack and a bottle of beer in his pocket.

This next series of photos is really funny. As many of you know, the Eastern Europeans usually freak out about their kids in spring going without shoes or even with shoes and no socks.. If they have no shoes or socks or no hat then they pretty much have heart attacks. Our kids are always getting gawked at as they are hot blooded and like to strip down when the weather starts to get slightly warmer... After the water fountain play time, our kids all ran around the park and playground with no shoes and socks. There were quite a few older women watching and clutching their chests in worry and disgust. C'est la vie!

Now, watch this granny with her grandson. The first two was her trying to roll up his pant legs before he went near the fountains.



Then, he got so wet while playing that she pulled off his pants and attempted to ring them out while he stood their in his underpants!!!! Poor little guy!!!
