It's Finally Summer!!



Now we're talking--80 degree temps, a light breeze (ok, some days a strong wind), and lots of sunshine! That was one looooooong, cold winter, even by Chicago's standards. I will say that in this photo, it was warm outside, but not hot, so this was about as close as Alex got to the sprinker.

Alex, Emily and Josh played in the baby pool after dinner and even though Alex looks like he's freezing, he loved it! He was soaked a few minutes later. Another of our favorite summer activities is playing outside in the evenings with our friends.

After spending the day at the pool yesterday, we stayed close to home today and Alex played in his water table. This is NOT what I had envisioned when I got the water table out of the basement this morning. Alex filled the water with sand from his sandbox and created a sludgy mess. At one point he had one of his big dump trucks in there loading wet sand into the back of it. What a mess! But, this kept him busy for a very long time and he loved it. Now, what to do with all that wet sand... Boys will be boys I guess!
