Insanely nice weather for April. Sunny and 73ish. The boys went in their kiddie pool in fact. Run was therapeutic but challenging even at a slow pace, but it was good/necessary.

This will be known as The Day of Turning on the Fountains. The boys and I went to the park and the fountain service was there and I figured out the process of turning on the subdivision fountains. I thought they were testing water quality or something until I saw the rowboat on the top of the truck. It was fun to watch the process and the boys got to see the fountains turn on. They were excited for that. One of those weirdly memorable moments that you cannot really explain (far less to do with the fountains than being together).

Cool experience, one you will remember with the boys (funny what things stick in your mind!).
