Water

We're heading into another week of hot, hot temperatures. In a Kansas summer the only bearable outdoor activities involve water. I came back from our trip to California fired up about spray parks. Beckett had a great time at the spray park there, and I didn't have to worry so much about him drowning or drinking the whole pool. So I set to searching for one in town, and I found there are a bunch of free spraygrounds (as they call them here) on the other side of the state line. One just happens to be in the park right near Abby's and Ava's house. So we all ventured out for an afternoon at the sprayground.

This sprayground is a bit more intense than the one in California, but Beckett plunged right in.
Ava was a bit more tentative, but once she got the hang of things I think she liked the park even more than Beckett.
The babes decided they would each carry around one of the two cups I brought along. Here they decide who gets which one and then they held on tight to their respective cup for the rest of the outing.

Below the kids play in the serious side of the sprayground. Those are some wet babies.
The other day we let Beckett play outside with the hose. At first he just played with the water.
Here Zephyr fulfills her lifelong ambition of worming her way into as many pictures as possible.
Then Beckett decided he was thirsty and started drinking from the hose.

We're so proud.
