Best Day Ever!

We've had some fantastic weather this week. On Monday it was so hot (in the 70s!) that I went to the shed and hauled out the kiddie pool. The kids had a great time splashing and floating. I set the sprinkler up for them to run through. I gave them them bubble wands and bubble solution. They played and splashed and shrieked and had a fantastic summer day. Bentley went in to read after a couple of hours, but Jake and Viva stayed in the pool until I kicked them out after hearing this conversation:

Viva: "Jake your lips are blue!"

Jake: "Yours are purple!"

Tuesday was another hot day, so I filled the pool again. They children had even more fun and played even longer. Bentley got a little sunburned on his arms. "Best day ever!" is what one of the trio proclaimed. The other two concurred that it was the best afternoon: enjoying the sun, chasing bubbles, playing in the sprinkler, and floating in the small pool. Simple pleasures are the best.

Wednesday was cooler, which was okay because I needed a break from so much fun. Thursday was cloudy in the morning, but by late afternoon it was a scorcher again. (If you're used to 60s, high 70s seems quite hot!) The children asked for the pool again. After Lincoln's nap he joined the trio, but we totally ruined his fun by taking him through the sprinkler. He hated it and would not return to play in the pool. :-(
