For FHE one night a few months ago during the heat wave we went to Downtown Disney. We sat down by a water fountain and Porter loves playing with water. It was so hot we just let him climb right in. The Swart family who were with us decided that if our kid can get in then their kid can get in. The two little boys played and splashed water and explored the whole water fountain. Of course many people looked at us parents as if they were disgusted and couldn't believe we would let our kids into a fountain. I thought for sure security would kick us out with 5 to 10 minutes but to our surprise they didnt and the two little boys played in the fountain for a good solid hour. After thinking it through for a few minutes I came to the determination that I valued the fun Porter was having in the water more than some strangers opinion on rules for a water fountain and as all parents know, when you see your kid happy and playing and having a good time, it is a sweet feeling.
