It's the middle of June and it's finally warm enough to get wet. Finally! It's been a long time coming.
I have two water tables that I fill with water during the summer, and the kids will play with cups or splash, or the very young ones tend to climb right in. The little ones love to just sit in the water.
This year I have a small wading pool that I had gotten, originally, to put sand in. I haven't gotten around to buying sand, but it's works well as a... well, wading pool! So, I put it out and the kids, in true child creative genius, decide to put it at the bottom of the play structure's slide and fill it to the brim. They slide down into a pool full of water, make a splash, and laugh and laugh and laugh. It is fun to watch.
The bigger the kid, the bigger the splash! And the ones not brave enough to slide down, stand in front for the splash. Great fun all around.
I love summer water play. It is consuming, endlessly entertaining, and completely tiring. We finished the day by turning on the front yard sprinklers, and getting more wet.
Now for figuring out the swimming lesson schedule!
