Water play time

Yeah, Julia (7.5, rts), her youngest sister, Keira, and her mom, Catherine, came over for a play date before school starts.  Since it was a hot day, we pulled out the water slide.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of Julia going down the water slide, but I did capture her sharing her dolls, Bob and Susie, with Natalie.

And we also got a group shot right before they had to leave.  We had such a wonderful time!

But since the slide was up, we made use of it several more times during the day.  Lukas played while Konrad napped (shhh! don't tell Konrad!) and then they both played after Konrad's nap and again after dinner with Tom.

Lukas sliding head first.

Konrad at the bottom.

Once is not enough!

Konrad is not happy because he's having a reflective time out to think about getting out of the slide so the next person can slide.

Now he's happy!

And Tom got in on the fun, with pool squirt guns.  Notice Natalie leaning into the bottom of the slide to play with the water.

Now Natalie's IN the bottom of the slide.

Now she's out.  I dressed her for water play in the morning, but she didn't want to go down the slide...she just wanted to play in a bucket of water.  But she'd tipped the bucket over, and the water slide was where the water was, so...

Dominik will enjoy the slide next summer.  For now, he's just staying dry.
