I've joined a couple mom's groups in the area, hoping to make some friends and find some little ones for Annabelle to socialize with... We recently went on an excursion to the Irvine Spectrum, an outdoor mall that typifies the OC consumerism habit during the day and doubles up as a singles scene during the night. They do, however, have several fountains that Annabelle enjoys, including one at ground level that is safe for her to play in. Here are a few photos from our visit there. We had the best time!!
These little fountains would shoot up high really fast, then disappear entirely before coming back to their original short height. Perfect for enticing a toddler.
Annabelle would shriek with delight when they blasted up a few feet out of the ground.
There were two of these turtles and I thought they were so beautiful. Annabelle enjoyed several minutes of standing directly in front of them so that the water would hit her belly, drenching her entirely.
