Roseville fountains

Jake and I are taking care of our nephews Danny(9) & Erik(6) for a few days while Becky and Dan are on a 4 day Carnival cruise (lucky dogs). They're good kids, fun to be around and always coming up with something funny to say.

We took the boys over to a new development in Roseville called The Fountains, it's described on the website as Distinctive. Unique. Upscale. Fountains at Roseville is the first lifestyle center of its kind in the Sacramento region. We hadn't been there yet and I heard good stuff about it from Lisa. When we asked the boys if they would wanted frozen yogurt, they said that they didn't like it. We took that as 'We've never tried it so we don't like it.' We were right, they had never had it before. Well they were in for a real treat. So we tricked them and told them we were taking them to get ice cream and treated them to frozen yogurt @ Big Spoon. Danny's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw all the toppings you could put on it. I think he was in topping heaven. He chose peanut butter fro yo and topped it with as he put it "lots of stuff, can't remember. How do you expect me to remember"? LOL. He said it was really good. Erik on the other hand, taught us all a lesson on toppings of frozen yogurt and we learned not to mix sour gummy worms with strawberry kiwi fro yo...yeah, not such a good combination apparently. It had started to melt and wasn't eating it. Jake asked him why he wasn't eating it and he says "It's too sour". At first we weren't sure why it would be sour then I remembered he had put the sour worms in it. OOPs, poor kid had to toss it in the garbage. We offered to go back and get him something different on our way back to the car but he declined and I think it kind of spoiled it for him.
*NOTE to self, sour gummy worms & fro yo don't play nice.

As we ate our fro yo, we strolled down to the dancing water show that was taking place. They dance every half hour on the weekends and to music. It was really neat. The boys got a bit wet and Jake & I took pics of the boys with our camera phones. We didn't think to bring our digi cam. Danny said he wants to bring his baithing suit next time, he got that wet but of course that's what happens when you lay across the railing and almost stick your head into the line of fire...err..umm water!!! Today we are taking the boys back to the fountains to the Childrens Interactive water feature and having a picnic. That should be fun. What better way to spend a sunny California Saturday afternoon than spending it with 2 entertaining boys, a picnic and water!!!

Have a great weekend. See you next blog.
