Water Play in the Backyard

One hot but slightly overcast Tuesday in early July, I decided it was time to pull out all the stops, go hog wild, and bring out all the yard toys at once and have a big ol water party in the backyard. I haven't done it again since, but re-watching these videos inspires me to do it again before the summer's over. We had a pretty darn good time.

Addie immediately went to her old favorite, while Emily explored the new crabby territory
