Fun in the yard

Summer days are just about over. We have been trying to enjoy the heat while we can, knowing that next week the rain could start. On one such day, we opted to stay home and play outside with water. I spent a few dizzying minutes blowing up the kids' small inflatable pool, and then Claire helped fill it up. It was pretty nice to just sit in the shade and watch the girls have fun. They really love splashing around and just being in their swimsuits makes them hysterically hyper. I'm glad I finally said "yes" when asked to get out the pool. It really wasn't that much work...and the looks on their faces was priceless.
