Summer fun

With the hot weather lately, the kids have been spending a lot of time in the backyard playing with their new water toys. They love this little water table; especially putting balls and water down the big spiral chute in the middle. The only problem we have is that Charlotte gets a little overenthusiastic about putting things down the chute and keeps getting it jammed with random toys, Louie's tennis balls, etc.

They also love this cool sprinkler, though Charlotte was a little hesitant at first to get too close.

Not Jack! He positioned the slide to go right into the spray. The first day we used this, he played for about 4 hours nonstop before we had to drag him away.

Charlotte eventually worked up the courage to get closer.

Now she just sticks her whole arm in.

Charlotte is very considerate of Lou when we're outside and brings him water. We just have to watch her closely because she likes to drink out of the cup after him. Eeewwww!

Lou found a shady spot. So cute with his big watermelon smile!
