Fun with Caitlyn and Alek

Amy called me this morning and invited me to go to the mall with her and the kids to look for sandals for Caitlyn. We never found the sandals but we did snag some good deals on clothes for the kids. We looked around for a few hours, met Amy's husband (Chad) for lunch in the food court, wangled crazy kids, and let those crazy kids play on some of the rides.


This evening Amy brought the kids over to play. It reached around 90F here today so I got out the baby pool and other water toys. Alek LOVED the pool while Rylan would hold his feet up when I lowered him down and start crying. I really hope he likes the neighborhood pool a lot more because it opens this weekend!

The little ones working on their tans ...


Rylan loves Alek's ears. He really got ahold of one here ...


And here are the big kids running through a sprinkler ...


I had set up the pool and other water toys during Carter's nap. When he walked outside and saw them he got a huge grin on his face and said "Wow, Mama!". I'm sure today was just the first of many days we have these toys out because when it's hot it's so much more tolerable when we can cool off with water.
