One train and two fountains

Mr. Man reports for April 20, 2006:
"We went to Gresham on the very, very fast train. And on the way back we saw a huge bonfire. We also saw a fountain that was as strong as a fire hose and it could throw an adult so you should never go in the middle jet. I went in the fountain - both of them. It lowered and highered and didn't have water below it so I could just run under them when it wasn't to thin or too small."

Clarification from the Home Office:
We rode one of the train lines out to the very end of the line just because Mr. Man thought this would be a fun idea. On the way back, we saw a man burning leaves and yard waste in his backyard. We also saw two fountains at different parks yesterday. The first fountain is a series of small streams of water that shift to create patterns etc. You can indeed run through them, play in them, etc. There are quite a few fountains in Portland that let you do this. The second fountain is on the riverfront. These jets are much larger and stronger. There was a sign that warned that the center jet "could throw an adult" and please don't go in it. But again, it is totally fine for you to run underneath all the other jets and generally scream and laugh and have a fun time. So we did.

Tehe. I love the fact that Mr. Man has his own blog through his mommas' eyes. Dido what the chief said.

I am looking forward to the escapade's of Mr. Man.
