The secret lagoon...

A friend of ours told us about this totally secret fountain place to the side of the Westin Hotel, and now we call it anything from the "Secret Lagoon" to "Mermaid Cove," and if we're feeling boring we might just refer to it as the secret fountain place. Whatever you call it, the place is cool! And there's hardly ever anyone else there.

It has water falling down these stair steps that leads to a still shallow pool at the bottom. The kids like to follow boats, cups or even their Crocs down the steps and under the tunnel to the pool below. It's really a blast!

Here's our little seal. Both boys LOVE the water!

The water squirters (Mommy's preferred term over water guns) are a recent fun addition to the scene. And this particular time when we brought Brent to the secret lagoon, a family water fight ensued with squirters, buckets and anything else that held water. It was so much fun.

I'm so glad that Brent got to join us that day. I always wish that it were possible for him to experience more of the fun things that I get to do with the boys on a regular basis, especially during the summer.
