Photo Friday: Public Water Tap in Madrid

If you're participating in Photo Friday this week, don't forget to link back to this post... linkbacks are how more people find out about Photo Friday and how we keep the carnival growing from week to week, which ultimately brings more traffic back to you!

I never worry too much about finding something for the kids to do when we travel. There's always a square for them to run around in, or in this case a public tap to play with. When that doesn't work, there are birds to feed and skateboarders to watch.

    So sweet! When my kids play with a tap, they wind up looking like they jumped in a pool.

    E is a cautious little guy. D is a different story. Today I gave her a bowl of chocolate ice cream (her favorite thing in the world)... she wasn't deterred from enjoying it once it had all melted or been eaten. As far as she was concerned, that melted ice cream made great body paint.

    Thanks as always for the opportunity to share.

    My one and a half year old is obsessed with water! Loved this pic!

    What a fantastic picture! I love the way it shows your child's curiosity!

    Adorable. I have an almost identical picture of Tommy from Rome. I completely agree that children can find things to do in almost any public space.

    Let that be a lesson to those who feel pressured to take preschoolers to theme parks!

    it has been a while, thought I would dig up a photo from our trip to Alaska this summer. I did not put this on the post, but I took the photo because I was so taken with the color of the church against the green backdrop of the trees. It really just popped right out...

    Happy Photo Friday, yeah the weekend is here!

    As always, kids seem so easily amused. If only adults were that easy to keep occupied!! :)

    Here's a fun family travel activity: feeding Texas Longhorn cattle, this photo taken last weekend at Wildcatter Ranch Resort & Spa in Graham, Texas. The cattle are very gentle (just watch out for the horns), but they produce a *lot* of drool, even more than my Labrador Retriever! You can see a close-up of bubbling cow drool on http://WritingTravel.com.

    I love cities with public water available. Rome is great about that, too, and so often I see children playing with the spouts, spigots, and fountains. It's pretty handy when refilling water bottles, too!

    Thanks for hosting! Now I am off to comment...

    How fun! We trave all over with our kiddos. I'm looking forward to looking through the photos for good trip ideas!

    What a darling shot! Isn't Madrid, and all of Spain for that matter, wonderful with kids? Hope you did not miss the thick as pudding hot chocolate at famous Chocolateria San Gines or a melt in your mouth meal at Madrid's oldest restaurant, Botin!

    We have spent more time exploring Spain during our open ended family world tour than anywhere else and continue to fall in love with it.

    Our picture is from Altamira prehistoric caves in Northern Spain...another delightful and educational spot for the whole family!

    Hey there, I finally submitted one of my pictures to your photo Friday. Or at least I think I did. Sorry it took me so long. Great shot of the kid and the spigot/hydrant!
