Hot Days

With the pool closed this year because of the ripped liner, we have had to find other fun water things to do outside this summer. I had the great idea of a sprinkler. That is what I used to play with outside when I was a kid and remembered that I loved it. So, Jen told her mom about it, and next thing you know, grandma Sue went out and bought the kids a sprinkler! Last weekend, they went next door to grandma's had played out in it for hours! Emily LOVED it!

Uncle Rob decided that he wanted something out in the back yard for the kids to play with, so he went to Walmart and got the kids a slip n slide! They played on it all day yesterday and today! Emily is getting quite a nice tan...FINALLY! This poor child of mine I thought would never tan! She is afraid to run and slide down the slip n slide, but loves to be pulled down it and today she even started to sit on her butt and use her feet to push herself down the slide! It is so cute!

And of course I had to get a picture of the classic hand on her hip! I had been telling my mom about her doing this and thought that it was the cutest thing ever. Of course, every time I went to get a picture of her doing it, she would quit. Today, she and Tina used the slip n slide as a runway and were modeling their bathing suits! So, this is kind of an idea of what she does when she she is really serious about something and tries to be an adult!
