Never take your kids out in Florida without a bathing suit!

We got caught short today. After a pretty good (and cheap!) lunch at Sweet Tomatoes we decided on the spur of the moment to visit Downtown Disney. Now it was hotter than the surface of the sun today – about 94 degrees , so on spotting the fountains next to Earl of Sandwich Emily decided that running through the water was just what she needed. (Actually, so did I, but it seemed to be a kids only passtime so I decided not to join in.}

All the kids enjoying the fountains has one thing in common – they were all wearing bathing suits to frolic in the spouty water. Unfortunately we did not come prepared and Emily had no such attire. She had to make do with just her t-shirt and knickers (oh the shame!) Needless to say she got a good soaking and we then had to make our way home with her topless and clad in just a pair of shorts! – good job shes only 3!

Lesson learned – always keep an emergency costume in the car while in Florida. You learn something new every day, don’t you?

Also, got an unexpected visit this evening from the neighbours. Very friendly they were too so hello to Dawn and Paul, you are now immortalized on my blog.
