How Isaiah runs through the sprinklers...with his tongue out so that he can taste the water, I guess.
Best friends already
We discovered our local swimming pool.
---It's like 5 minutes from home
---It's super cheap (and ages 5 and under are free anyway...)
---it's indoors (read: year round),
---it has a giant slide (that only people able to swim with out floaties can use--sorry kids...)
---it has a "beach" area (I don't know if that's what it's called but essentially the ground slopes down into the water like walking into an ocean...but the deepest it goes is like 1-2 feet.)
---a frog water slide (that Jubilee and Noah pretty much wouldn't stop playing on to try other things.) ---It has pipes that shoot water all kinds of crazy directions with levers and buckets and stuff that fill and dump perpetually
---it has a lazy river that the girls and Isaiah LOVE (the current does all the work for you. You just sort of drift around)
---It has a waterfall
---it has these floating log things that you can walk on if you are agile enough and if you don't wear floaties (sorry again kids! Should have taken the camera and gotten a picture of Brandon trying to do it at a run though...pretty funny!)
---and it has a lap pool and a diving board
(and everything the kids can do is visible from one spot so you can watch them all easily as you play with them)
Anyway, it's pretty cool and we intend to go back but when we told the kids we were going, they were so excited that we got some interesting swimsuit combinations, etc. :) Here are our before pictures when they were dressing themselves for the pool.
Also, I thought of this before going to the pool. There are expensive gadgets that you can buy to waterproof your phone or camera but when tested against a simple ziploc bag, they perform just as well so I considered taking our camera in a ziploc bag but decided I didn't want to be hanging onto it and didn't quite trust it around that much water.
Me: Noah, you can't wear your red shirt to the pool like that...
He then produced this face.
Playing with Maddie
All played out
More water. We washed the car so it would look pretty for pictures to try to sell it.
Here's what Madeleine did while we washed the car. (This was a few days after the swimming pool but the camera was still in the bag so I just left it since more water was involved.)
Washing the car.
The kids thought this was awesome and really wanted to wash the big white car. Normally we just use the car wash but this time we wanted to do it for fun.
Washing the inside/windows/dash
or really, mostly just pretending to drive it
Come here, Maddie.
My head is too big and heavy to do this for long.
Brothers
She does this to herself. The big kids call her a Space girl.
Running through the sprinklers
...or maybe not...
proof that even Jubilee went through the sprinklers
but mostly she played here on the porch
he mostly played on the patio too
back here by the trees
proof that he did in fact get into the yard too at least once
drinking the water
