Summer.....Spring fun

This is Chris's fun new summer toy. We don'g have a pool around here(that is within reson of pricing) and the Snake River is a bit big for my 4 (almost 5) year old. Well, Monday was our first time trying it out. We had my neighbor, Becky, and her 3 kids, Russel-5, Chanel-almost 3, and Ambree-3 months, come play with us. Chris is climbing the rock climbing portion to get up to the slides while Chanel's aiming one of the the cannons at the slide.

This is Chris playing on Monday on the smaller slide. He's figured out that if you stay to the left, you can avoid getting sprayed by the shower sprayer that keeps the slide wet. It was over 70 degree's, but that water was still really cold.
Chris and Russel would race to the top, then let each other go down first because if they went down together, they'd splash on each other. It's one thing to splash on yourself, it's another to have someone else splash on you!
This is the 3 of them playing at the end of the bigger slide. The water was shallower and had an easier time warming up in the sun then the bigger pool. They had a blast! And us smart mothers' put them in sunscreen, but forgot to apply our own. Oops! But can't complain about a beautiful day, enough to get sunburnt and swim, in early May:)
