The Gateway...to family fun

This was a day that was supposed to be a day at Lagoon but we ended up at Gateway to play in the water and do some school shopping instead. The kids, as you can see, had a blast! No need to elaborate anymore than this. It was obviously great fun!

Ethan did something hysterical. As we were walking along the walkway, he spotted a big drain spout coming out of the wall. He stuck his head in it and began to push against the wall as though he were stuck, using his feet as well for added measure. Jed and I watched, with tears streaming down our cheeks as we watched people point and stop. The crowd around him was about 20 people who looked at each other in disbelief. Finally a woman in her 50's tapped his shoulder, "hey are you okay?" After a minute, Ethan gives one last push against the wall, falling backwards, with everyone stepping back as he fell, and he looks up at her with a smile, "Yah!" It was so unbelievably convincing, we were bent over from laughter watching. One of the other women, said to him, "where you really stuck?" And before he could answer, the woman who had tapped him said, "No he was just being stupid" and walked away. Ethan just smiled bigger. Oh how we laughed!

Ha Ha, that story about Ethan is hilarious! I could totally see one of our brothers at that age pulling a stunt like that! Or your hubby for that matter! Awesome.
