more pools and popsicles.

Saturday we had some outdoor water fun after a picnic on the porch with friends. My Mother in law sent us home with a pool and a ton of other fun water toys. Thanks Mom.

Brian had one of those don't take my picture days. So this was the best one I got. A few seconds later he was covered in purple stickyness I thought if we had the two pools then we could have an obstacle course going. We had so many other games going we never got around to it.

The popsicles were a hit. I couldn't tell if this was a possible brain freeze.

We played fishy fishy shark (water version of duck duck goose) and marco polo on land. (Marco gets a pail full of water poured on him/her.) It was pretty exhausting cuz Ashley has a huge back yard so there was plenty of room to run around. I found the game ideas on the Family Fun magazine website.

The remains of our picnic. Brian mainly wanted to hang out in the red/yellow car. He loves that thing. A little after 2:30 we headed inside. Some kids ate popcorn and watched the 80's version of Escape to Witch Mountain. The other kids played with Ashley's collection of wooden blocks.

Thanks Ashley it was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
