One of my favorite memories is of when my Mom was the only grown-up to go down a nearly-90-degree-angled waterslide in Wildwood, NJ...I was 10 years old at the time. She did so not to assure me the slide was safe, but because she thought it looked like fun. <BR/><BR/>It was. Even at the time, I remember thinking it was so cool that she did it.Actchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320025313541534433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20158627.post-64366852866332399492009-03-20T17:57:00.000-04:002009-03-20T17:57:00.000-04:00Your spring break sounds awesome!

It seems like a good fit for izzy, not quite as manic and packed as the Indy one. I've always loved how Cosmo is so intent with his watching and figuring things out.<BR/><BR/>What I did on my spring "break" -- got up at 5:15 each morning to drive 1.5 hours to Carmel to work 4straight hours and then drive 1.5 hours back. Home by 1, and a little time to be tired in the warm spring sun with Iz. I love my work these days, but the driving? It's dragging me down. Nice to be able to listen to NPR without interruptions or having to turn down the scary stories.Malkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830334302442224819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20158627.post-47510344166109612322009-03-20T15:35:00.000-04:002009-03-20T15:35:00.000-04:00That museum sounds fantastic (aside from the poten...That museum sounds fantastic (aside from the potentially frightening toilet slide--have to say, I'm mighty intrigued myself), and I bet we can check it out some time when traveling from Illinois to Ohio (through Indiana) to see family. <BR/><BR/>We are also fans of shouting "spring break" around our place. A few years ago, we went to the Bahamas with friends during a week that overlapped with spring break for many college kids. Don't know what we were thinking. I felt OLD and LAME when I was on spring break as a college kid, and felt even more so (plus worried and horrified for all the drunken young persons, women especially, that I saw) during that trip. It was 2005 at the time, and we did have some laughs shouting, "Spring Break '95" in front of all the kiddies. <BR/><BR/>Great photography as always, and I love how absorbed in play cosmo seems.mephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074153090546740903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20158627.post-79027231752547893902009-03-20T08:55:00.000-04:002009-03-20T08:55:00.000-04:00i think it is a common fear, but i will say that i...i think it is a common fear, but i will say that it seemed to be a focal point for most of the other kids there. it was an attraction for all, a frightening one for some.cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022650911172987454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20158627.post-23118052861686399572009-03-20T08:40:00.000-04:002009-03-20T08:40:00.000-04:00A toilet slide is a rather wierd idea for a childr...A toilet slide is a rather wierd idea for a childrens museum. Plenty of kids are afraid of being flushed down the loo arent they? (Jack has never expressed such a concern, but it is a common potty training problem!)Sarah and Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618358656098944111noreply@blogger.com
