Splish splashin'

One of the first things I did upon moving to Nashville was to explore the mommy groups at meetup.com. I found one that I thought would fit Seth and I, and only a few weeks after settling into our new home, I met three other moms-of-boys at Opry Mills for lunch and shopping.


I have only averaged about one meetup a month -- play dates, picnics, and the like. I'm super glad that I made a point to attend a recent event, though.


One of the outdoor malls in our area has public sprinkler fountains -- a literal godsend on the 90+ degree days we've been having. And after indulging in some yummy double dark chocolate ice cream with fresh raspberries from Marble Slab Creamery, the fountains were next on our agenda.


Seth LOVED them. I don't know that I've ever seen him more exuberant. The video doesn't quite do him justice. Just take the joy you see, and multiply it by a hundred. That might come close.

Here are some more still photos from our fun afternoon.
