Summer Water

This year as we pulled into the community sprinkler park (FREE!) Rachael and Abi started squealing from the back seat. A smile hit my face... maybe this year will be more interactive. A flashback of last year's "we don't do water" instantly looked brighter.

I had to do all I could to keep Abi from running across the street straight to the sprinklers. Rachael jumped in place, her patience and obedience displayed, while I got all our stuff from the car/applied sunblock. (Funny how much goes into a morning of water play.)

We circled the sprinkler pad a few times, soaking it all in. And then Abi let go of my hand and Ms. Assertive was off...

Rachael, Ms. Precautions, close behind her in a moment of boldness.

 JUMP!

I love how no matter where we are, they just love playing together.

 

 There also was a park attached to the sprinkler pad so we could dry off with joy on the slide. =)

 This time Rachael was the assertive one.

 But this one didn't need a personal invitation. ;)

 Ms. Big Sister took it upon her own initiative to make sure Abi's first trip down the slide was fun and secure. (Precious to watch her care for her little sister.)

 Then Abi decided it would be fun to ride on Rachael's lap. 

Sweet sisters.

- We'll definitely be returning again this summer. =D
