You can't deny the hot summer days are here -
and what better way to cool off?
Why, playing in the 20degree hose water, of course!
Playing in the pool at nanny's house -
can you tell the water is a little bit chilly?
There is a scene from an afterschool special starring a young Molly Shannon - that shows us the trials of a young girl in catholic school - that will best depict the way I feel about this situation.
(well - not afterschool special -but I needed to add to the Mary-Kathrine of it all..)
"There are two ways to get into the water. First you take your toe and you gently test the water's temperature, and if that feels okay, then you slowly get in, letting your body adjust to the cold. Then there's this way- you JUMP! Hi, that's me, Mary Katherine Gallagher, it's nice to meet you."
that's my boy
Moving on home to use the Slip-n-Slide
while boy warmed up on the hot plastic sheet in preparation for the freezing icy water -
Girl let me know - she truly is a badass - and only babies need to warm up
the kids don't really understand the run, jump, slide concept-
so they got a little help from Dan -
with a severe tush-push
boy prep
boy push
girl push
boy falls
boy splashes!
and boy falls
girl splashes!!
and boy falls
girl got pushed so hard she flew off the end of the slip-n-slide!
and boy falls!
(can you tell where I'm going with this one?)
boy slashes!!!
girl splashes!
boy big splashes!
and girl flies off the end of the slip-n-slide & her feet flip backwards over the top of her head & hit the ground in front of her
when everyone was dried & clean -they took a break in the neighbor's front yard
So we decided to play with the bounce ring 
cheese
boy's new favorite outfit to wear everywhere
