As soon as we got to this fountain, Ben read the little plaque. It mentions tossing a coin in and saying a prayer for the sick children at Children's Mercy Hospital. So he asked if we could do that, and of course, I said yes. Ben got on his knees, said a prayer quietly to himself, then tossed in a coin. Sydney sat for her prayer, then tossed in the coin!
It is so humid you can see the haze in the air! Here was fountain #2!
Beautiful Brush Creek!
And this was the last of the fountains for the day! #3! After fully viewing this fountain, Ben shared his observation: "These fountains are much bigger up close." 
Lady Churchill & Sydney
Off to Loose Park!
After walking, sweating and complaining a little, we made it back to the car. No one wanted to eat at the park, so we sat in the car (air conditioning) and ate our lunches in the parking lot!
The good ol' midwest weather! If you don't like the weather, just wait a minute!!
Playing quickly, before the rain set in!
It began to sprinkle, so we headed for the shelter. We noticed the beautiful flowers while we waited for the rain to subside!
Sydney loves dancing in the rain!
Ben found some walnuts on the ground (No science experience can be passed up!) so he worked on rubbing the outer green part off, while waiting for the rain to fade away. He remembered that people use walnuts to stain wood so, he tried to stain the concrete pillar!
When the lightning began, we decided that this field trip was over!
We took our metal umbrella and left the pond!
Nothing better than to end a day with ice cream!
