We had a scorcher the other day. We hit 87 degrees! (Those of you reading this from anywhere other than the Pacific Northwest are probably chuckling about now...) For someone who thinks that the perfect temperature is in the mid 70's, anything nudging towards 90 feels a bit on the hottish side and requires intervention. So we pulled out the hose, removed the slip 'n' slide from the box and engaged in some good ol' backyard fun.
With Cora's help, our kiddos were introduced to the wonders of a spray covered slip 'n' slide. Kris and I were entertained listening to one certain 4-year-old boss his sister and cousin around and get especially frustrated when they continued to do their own thing...
like this. Surely you can understand the frustration of an older brother...
"NOOOO, Morgan. Like this!" To which the girls clapped...
and then went back to doing their own thing.
Oh, well. At least there was one little guy hanging on to Lane's every word!
How fun! Playing in the water is a must on these hot summer days around here! Sometimes they can even coax mom into stepping feet in the fresh hose water! How cute that little brother hangs on his older brothers' every word!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good time. Your little ones are sure sprouting up this summer. Can so relate to the baby adoring his big brother. Amazing how loyal they are at such a young age!
