Water fun!

Of course there is no other kind of fun this summer if it's not water fun, or air-conditioned fun.  It's been so stinkin' hot this summer!  I usually love summer and don't mind a bit of heat, but when you start sweating within minutes of being outside and you are just standing still, that is too hot!  Anyway, we have been making the most of the heat and having some fun in the water lately.

Last week we gathered with my neighbors at the YMCA pool.  We are not full members but one of them let us use a guest pass along with another neighbor so all of us could be there.  The kids had a blast swimming together.  Nathan proudly earned a green wristband which allows him to use the slides and even jump off the diving board.  Kaitlyn along with many of her friends earned a yellow wristband and can go in the big pool up to her armpits without an adult.

On Monday we went to a birthday party at the spray park.  We had never been there before but it was very cool and again, the neighbor kids had a blast together .
 


And yesterday, we hosted our Wacky Wednesday activity at our house.
My neighbor brought over his inflatable water slide and once again the kids had a BLAST! Now if only us adults could have gotten in on the fun.  Instead, we just sat in our sweat and chatted. 
 
Yes, we do a lot with our neighbors.  We just love them all and have become like family.  We are so blessed to live around all these great people and their great kids!  Only 2 more weeks of summer fun left, but unfortunately the start of school does not mean an end to our heat, so I'll bet the water fun will go on a bit longer!

That's funny, I didn't even think of all the different water activities we've done ... but it's true - you can't be outside without water this summer! (Too bad the grown-ups didn't take a turn on the water slide ... we should do that sometime, the kids would probably think it's hilarious!) Good memories!
