A couple weeks ago we had a wonderful, warm Saturday morning, and we met up with some other moms and kids in the playground. The kids went down the slides, hung out on the swings, chased each other around, and did all the normal playground stuff.Then one of them wanted a drink. The water from the water spigot is usually delicious--cold, mountain water. On this particular day, a hose was attached to the spigot. And that hose meant it was time for even more fun.
While the bigger kids took the end of it, little Isaac and Emma found a leak in the hose that was just perfect for them. The next series of photos show them exploring the leak and figuring out how to stop it. They might be little, but they are already learning to be good at managing water!
Aha, the water is stopped with Isaac's foot.

Meanwhile, here's what's going on at the end of the hose.
Aron is taking a big rock to the "construction site."
It's hard to believe we had such nice weather the kids could wear short-sleeves and sandals. It's back to snow today. It has definitely been a tumultuous spring, which I guess has made us appreciate the nice weather even more!
I love how you encourage your kids to be kids. I have seen way too many Moms that would have stopped the water fun because of the mud or the water being cold. Kids need to get dirty!

ReplyDeleteI was on the phone with GGB when I was looking at your post. She loved hearing about what her GGkids were up to!
