Playin' Hard!

Eliza reading to her baby.

We have been really enjoying the nice weather outside.  There haven't been too many days that were really hot.  So far it can be managed by a sprinkler and a slip n' slide.

Daniel playing in the sprinkler.

Daniel and Bradley

I looked over once and Daniel was letting the water squirt his bottom and so was Bradley.  The only difference was that Daniel kept his shorts up!

Eliana and Owen

Eliana, Eliza and Owen

Owen has a shoe fetish and Eliza's purple crocks were too good to be true!

Eliza loves Eliana's house.  If she ever disappears that is the first place we look for her.

The girls going out on the town! 

Honk, honk!

"Look over there!"

A little wrestling...

a little running...

and and lot of sliding!

"Watch out!"

It took Daniel a long time to let me help him go down the slide, but after a couple slip n' slide sessions he got the hang of it and can now go clear down on his own!

 THE POOL

Bradley practicing swimming

I am not sure what this look is.

Daniel loved the mushroom top sprinkler.

(Thanks to Dr. Pinkerton for letting us play in the pool while Andy was digging holes in his yard.)

PLANTING TREES

Even Andy has gotten in a little playing during May.

His idea of playing is just a little different from the kids.  :)

Andy mixing soil to put around the trees.

Margret and Merrick are our neighbors and they were putting in some trees for some more privacy.  Andy enjoys doing manual labor every once in a while, so I volunteered him to help.  :)

Andy wasn't amused with all the picture taking.  (It was really hot that day!)

Their privacy trees look really good.  They are great neighbors to have and we are glad to have the opportunity to help them for once.
