Fun in the water!

I don't think that we will ever get sick of playing in the water!  It's one of my summer activities, as well as the kiddos :).  It has been especially hot this summer, so going to the splash pad, pool, and playing in the water in our yard has been a regular occurrence.  Love it so much!

Fun at the splash pad...

The pool is definitely our favorite place to go.  Isaac is not a fan of the lazy river, but he *loves* to play in the kiddie pool where he can touch the bottom.  And Kate...well, she just can't get enough of it!

Kate really is our water baby.  It's pretty normal in the evening to strip her down to her diaper and have her play with the hose...or just spray her with it.  She loves it either way ;).

Water balloons were a favorite among the kids this summer.  They would spend so long filling them all up, just to throw them all within minutes.  They sure loved playing with them...but I wasn't too eager to buy more once they were gone since they were all over my yard for weeks.  Tough love.

We have *loved* playing with our sweet neighbor friends this summer.  One day, they decided to have a huge water party, so we pulled out the water slide to play.  Good thing it was fun...it totally messed with my grass, which I got over fast.  Oh the things we do for the kiddos ;).

Kate loved screaming at the kids through her window...so silly, that girl!

And, of course, we LOVE running through the sprinklers in our clothes!  One night we were trying to fix some of the sprinklers, so, of course, Leah and Isaac had to jump at the chance to get wet.  So fun!

I seriously have always loved the atmosphere of being at the pool and relaxing.  Good thing my kids know when it's time to simmer down and just relax a bit at the pool.  

And here's one more of Kate playing in her little pool.  She makes me smile!
