Sprinklers

We had to water John's parent's yard while they were camping at Fish Lake the week of the 11th-16th, so we decided to let the kids run through the sprinklers.  They loved it!  Lindey even thought it was great.  I think she was confused at first as to why we weren't telling her to get out of the water. (She is constantly wandering through the sprinklers when we water our yard.) Morgan was a great little helper with her.

Eli was playing with John and tried to scare him by growling at him.  Most of Eli's growls turned into laughs.  He is such a cute kid and his personality is really starting to show.

Zander was having all sorts of fun with his towel.  Head dresses, skirts, and scarves, oh my!

A picture with all the kids (minus Ian who was at scout camp).

I love this picture.  They were having so much fun!

Giving bunny ears to each other.

Nice hair, Lu Lu!  Glad dad had the idea to let you have fun and water Grandma's yard at the same time.  Win-win for everyone! :)

Easter Sprinkler

We finally got the kids Easter sprinkler set up so they could play in it.

They figured out that they could hold onto the little hoses that were spraying everywhere and aim them at each other.  Micah and Eli thought that was great fun!

At Least Once This Summer...

We figured we'd better let the kids run through the sprinklers! I can't believe that summer is almost over and we haven't let the kids do this yet! Better late than never I guess. They had so much fun. It was nearing evening and so it wasn't too hot outside either. Perfect conditions. :)

Micah showing me his muscles. LOL

We didn't put Eli in his swimming suit because we didn't figure he'd really want to be in the sprinklers. Don't know what we were thinking. This boy is a water bug!

A classic Micah face when asked to smile for the camera! This boy cracks me up.
It wouldn't be playing in the sprinklers without a little getting warmed up on the cement. The kids were making an "I" for Ian.
It was a good summer day. This is what it's all about. John and I loved watching the kids be kids. Running, laughing and smiling and just having fun. The kids ended water logged and happy. We'll have to do it again soon! **Tuesday, August 10th, 2010
