Fun Friday: Exploring Water in Georgetown! ???? What’s better than a day of learning and fun? Doing it in Dad’s hometown! ???? The City of Georgetown, TX hosted a Water Expo, and one little adventurer had a blast exploring exhibits, playing water-themed games, and meeting some of the people Dad works with! From discovering how water moves through pipes to learning about conservation, it was a day full of excitement and hands-on fun. ??? At Wharton-Smith, we’re passionate about water—and about inspiring the next generation to love it too! ???? #FunFriday #WaterAdventures #HometownFun #WhartonSmith #DaddyDaughterDay
