Discovery Green

Jacob's second field trip was to Discovery Green, a newish area in downtown Houston. Running through sprinklers probably wouldn't qualify as an educational outing for most people, but for kids with sensory issues, it was a big thing.

They were a little surprised at how hesitant Jacob was at first. He just needed to wander around for a few minutes to get his bearing.
Then he was fine, off and running. Literally.
He really enjoyed the big cannons on the side of the area. A little too much, judging by how much the onlookers were getting soaked.
Right after this picture, he moved and totally soaked me from the neck down. Thanks Jacob.
