Slip 'N Slide

Julibeth often has some fun water toys set up in the yard. I'm pretty sure it's a large part of why the kids always want to go play over there. Sometimes it's a pool. Other times it's a Slip 'N Slide. This time, it was the latter.

She didn't even bother to change into her swim suit.

She had fun though




Emily loves to watch when something new is going on.
Always with this expression on her face too.
It's really hard to tell what she's thinking.





Running water and cups. Not a good combination for keeping kids dry.





Two of the three enjoyed watching. The other one can't focus much beyond her nose.


Give a kid a cup....


One will drink out of it.


One will use it to haul water.


And the other will douse herself with it.

Playing with Water

Water is the favorite toy when the weather is hot.

And the hose is the easiest place to find water

I see a surprise coming.

I can't tell if she's using that as a microphone or waiting to take a drink.

Emily mostly just likes to watch.
She and Jason are the two who would rather stay dry.

He'll turn the water on and let others get drenched.


And these two will gladly be the ones to do it.

The dry one. Playing with an unknown object that has a wheel.
And a handle.
And a red part.
That's all I got.

Come on, I dare you!

P.S. Can you see the garden behind the kids? It's looking good!

I hope she's trying to clean up the mud that's been painted on the house.
Something tells me that's not her goal though...

Fun in the Garden

The kids love being outside at Ethan's house. Here's some pictures of them playing outside just the other day.

I'm sure Jason was quite 'helpful'

Because a huge puddle of water right in the middle of the path is exactly what was needed right then.

Somehow, she's already wet.
And panting like a dog.

She's a goose.

Jason's favorite toy has to be the hose.

As long as he's on that end of it.

Hi Emmie Sue!

Can't get him to put that thing down

But it looks cool


That poor wagon never manages to stay clean in the summer when the kids are around

I love her cute face! I could enjoy that smile all day!

It's so infectious (but in a good way)

Shelly found the hose.
Jason is trying to get on the right end of it again.

This arrangement suits them both quite well.
Him spraying and her wet.

Then inside for a little holding baby time.
Her hair looks like Tarzan's dread locks...
