Washington Square

The heat in NY is insane! It is not just the heat that gets to you it is the humidity that hits you like a ton of wet soggy bricks. After being here a couple of weeks and touring the city we learned the key...bring your bathing suit EVERYWHERE!

Most of the parks have water fountains that are there to give people a break from the heat. Even the beautiful and famous Washington Square is no exception. On one side of the park people are engaged in a game of chess. While on another side a local band is playing anything from classical, to jazz. Then there is the enormous fountain in which people of all ages run through the fire hose pressure fountains.

Lance found the fountains that shoot out of the side very entertaining. We found it very entertaining that he seems to get not only his brother wet but the people sitting on the side of the fountain enjoying the view.



Jack had to get in on the little squirt action as well.



Postcard worthy!









Claire was much more graceful in her romp through in the water.





Then there was the friendly competition that is always present between Lance and Claire.






With a few hours in the fountain the kids were set to
endure more of our NY heat.
What a life we get to live!
