Today my Aunt Connie (who lives next door) invited us over to play in the water with all of her grandkids. They make a slide down the hill with a hose and some plastic and have a small kiddie pool. The girls were really excited to go. But hesitant when we got there... Two of cousins are very tally crazy boys and have sons that take after them. The girls did try out the slide after a few minutes. And after the crazy boys stopped going down it. And after a bit got really into it.
However, when the boys (there were some girls there too, but their presence seemed subdued by the action of the boys) stopped going down the slide they started a very active waterfight.
At one point Jennie wanted to go over by the kiddie pool, but even with holding my hand wouldn't get very close becuase of all the squirting of the battle.
After a little while they all took a lunch break, during which the girls took advantage of the chance to get control of the squirting toys. And as some of the smaller kids finished eating they all actually joined in the waterfight. It was fun to sit there and cheer each kid on as they ran from or ran after someone or other. Of course, I didn't get spared in all of this. My cousin Andy dunked me pretty good right in the beginning. And since I was already wet the girls thought I was a great target too. What a great time!
The girls got to spend a little while playing with Grandpa while Grandma and I went shopping for birthday stuff. They love grandpa!
They also love to read stories with Grandma and Grandpa, especially at bed time.

ReplyDeleteWhile it is fun to see pictures of your cute girls, it was fun for me to pick out people. Was that your cousin Ben I spotted? And your parents and Tiana. Sounds like a fun trip. Oh how I miss Bluffdale some days.
