Backyard Water Fun

Since it has been in the 90s the last couple of days, I've been making sure the kids have been enjoying the outdoors.  We went to the park, on walks, but the favorite thing is playing outside in the water.  We don't have a pool or anything (though that is changing today) so I gave them a bunch of bins to fill up and sit in.  Pretty trashy, but you make do with what you have.  Anyway, here are a ton of pictures of our backyard fun.  We invited a friend over, so that is the other little boy you might see in some of the pictures.

Ellie was in control of the hose most of the time and the boys didn't mind... they had a nice little game going where she chased them around trying to spray them.  She was pretty serious about it.

Here is Owen (left) and his friend, Spencer.  They are in the same preschool class and I usually pick the kids up and I look pretty crazy with four kids because it looks like Owen and Spencer are twins since they have the blond hair, plus they have the same backpack.

Mags was enjoying the outdoors as well.  She had a blast since she is usually just pressed up against the glass door watching Ellie and Owen while they play outdoors.

The kids don't eat Popsicles very often and you can see why... they get pretty messy, but outdoors is a great place to let them at 'em!

Mags playing with one of Owen's cars.  She is pretty cute because she loves playing with Ellie's babies with her but she also really loves to play cars with Owen.  She really does love her big brother and sister.  She especially likes to pester Owen.  Maggie is a pretty funny kid.

I imagine you will get to see a whole lot of backyard water fun this summer on our blog, just enjoy the pictures. :)
