My sister Michelle’s sons spent time at my house over the weekend. It was hot and sticky during the day on Friday. Really too hot for man or beast to be outside. After dinner, I decided we needed to get out of the house and do something fun. I changed JDaniel into his bathing suit and had my nephew get in their bathing suits. We then loaded into the car to visit the fountains in downtown Greenville. The space they are in is designed to look like a train track. JDaniel is so into trains right now.
The fountains are located between artist studios, a hotel, and restaurants and the Reedy River. I was so thankful that there were other children playing in them when we got there. We would have looked a little strange to the couple’s strolling along the river before or after their dinner all by ourselves.
JDaniel loved trying to catch the water in his hands while the water enjoyed spraying his upper thighs.
I wasn’t sure that a seven and ten-year-old would get into playing in the fountains. They seemed to enjoy it as much as JDaniel did. The words in the window say,” More and more and More.” That’s how long they wanted to stay and play.
JDaniel took notes on a few new tricks he learned about playing in the water. If you flick the water coming out of the fountains, you can get other people really wet. Can you see the wheels turning in his head as he watches his cousin Jason?

Oh that looks so very fun!! I’d really love to have a place like that in my town.
We love water parks and splash parks. The kids enjoy water activities so much. That place looks so fun.
Those where the days here I recall and loved. There used to be something like this at our local zoo when we lived in Florida…..I sure wish I would have captured more photos….they are so cute! Thanks for sharing.
That looks like fun and I sure would love to get in water in this crazy heat, too.
It looks like they had a great time! 🙂
Nothing like playing in the water on a hot summer day. Cute photos! ~ Sarah
What a cutie pie. We love water play! I don’t think you can ever be too old to play in the water.
oh that looks like such fun on a hot summer day!
That looks like sooooo much fun! It is amazing how much kids (and moms) enjoy water play!
So cute! That looks like a lot of fun for anyone regardless of age.
Oh, wow, I wish there was a fountain area like that near my house! My little guy goes crazy over anything that resembles a train. How fun!!!

Wow. What a wonderful water park! I love the train tracks and train theme! Such a neat design.
This was such a delightful stop on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday’s Letter “W”.
I always love stopping here!
Thanks for helping to make this meme so wickedly awesome!

Looks like he had a super fun time – so nice to see kids getting out in the heat and water play – a little bit of summer-dreamin for us down under in the middle of winter 🙂
That looks like a great place to be on a hot summer’s day! What fun!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Oh I wish I was a child again thank you for sharing
That looks like a lot of fun and he actually learned a little trick there! 🙂
Playing with water is just the best bit about being a child and summer! Lovely!
I love the one where he’s facing the falling water. It looks like he’s conducting a symphony. 🙂
Good Times! So cute!
I want to play too! Wet, Wild and Wonderful! JDaniel is such a cutie patootie!
He looks like he’s having a blast. It’s so easy to please them when they’re young.
Is there anything better than water play? Sweet photos!
Great pictures! We have a fountain that was designed to be played in on the Pearl Street mall in nearby Boulder. This one looks like a ton of fun for your son and nephews!
My youngest LOVES trains and would have loved that place!
Nothing says they love it,
like MORE MORE MORE …!
Age has little effect on humans and fountains…well, this one anyway, I love them.
What a wonderful adventure you all shared.
THat must have been a lot of fun. Great w word.
I love your photos and the memories they evoke in me. As a child, I loved to play in the sprinkler, and I have a Boxer who goes bonkers when they are on. Thanks for the memories.
This looks like so much fun! What a great place to take them. The weather here has been ridiculously hot for so early in the summer, I probably would have jumped in too! Kathy
Looks like everyone had a great time.
Cool. That looks like a fun place. I’ve heard people play in the fountains in front of the museum here, but I’d be nervous about getting funny looks too!
Thanks for the comment on my post, btw.
Looks like so much fun.
There’s a place like that at our local mall where the water just kind of jumps up at you unexpectedly. My grandkids love it!
How fun for them!! We have a few places with fountains like that around here. The children just love them! A great way to beat the heat for sure.
Oh my grand children would love to do this. How fun.
such a great place to play, so glad they had fun 😀
Adorable! I wish I could join them right now 🙂
it looks Wonderful….great idea mom and I dont think any kid is ever too old to play in a fountain!
What a completely cool place for kids to play!
=)
So fun! Great pics!
This does look like the perfect place to cool down on a hot, sticky summer day! Fun!
this looks fun we need to find a sprinkler park near us!
What a neat place that looks like. Looks like loads of fun. Great W post.
Yep I can see those wheels turning! That is too funny! It looks like alot of fun! I wish we had something like that around here (we were supposed to, but funding got cut 🙁 ) Enjoy your weekend with your little man!
oh that looks like a blast!
Refreshing WATER on a hot day! Superb W-word! What fun for the children! Cute pics.
Best wishes,

I love seeing water…
That looks like such good fun. What a brilliant thing to do with the kids on a hot day 🙂
What great water time photos! How awesome to have your sister live near enough so that the cousins can play and have fun as they grow up!
Blessings & Aloha!
That looks like fun!
That looks like so much fun! That reminds me that we should stop at our local fountain park–though it is not anywhere as cool as yours! Thanks for adding this to the Big Summer Fun link-up!
Water adventures for kids can be so fun and a learning experience too. It looked like Swell fun!
