Fun with Water

There is nothing more fun for kids in the summer than playing in water...any time, any where, any place.  Such is the story for us this week:

First there was the puddle of dirty water below the swings left by the sprinklers.  Wesley loved splashing around in it, but then he had to bend over and take a sip of it...YUCK!

...Then there was the water fight on Family Fun night (celebrating the 1 year anniversary of Neil and Cathy's move to Utah, really an excuse for Matthew to work on one of his bear requirements).  Here  is Wesley and cousin Jacob playing with the rags they used to throw at each other during the water fight.

...and then, the outdoor bathtub.  Who needs a kids pool when you can get your hands on an old bathtub?  We visited my childhood friend Elaine at her parents house where they had been doing some remodeling.  We had forgotten to bring the kids pool with us, so we just used what was available...the kids loved it.  Here is Amberly with Elaine's daughter Brianna.

That tub is the perfect pool! Kids don't care what it is, if it has water they LOVE it! Looks like you guys are having a great time!

Jane,
Your kids are adorable! I love the military picture. Looks like you are keeping yourself busy. I really admire you military wives and Tom for serving our country. Wish I was still in Utah, we could get together!
