Playing in the water

A hot December day! funny for all you in the northern hemisphere, huh? We pulled out a bucket and filled it with water. Thea got some bath toys in a basin of water. (It was close to noon, so I tried to keep them in the shade to avoid turning them bright red!)



Thad had fun scooping water out of the big bucket with the little bucket, and pouring it into Thea's basin for her.



I had fun squirting Thad using a cheap little foam thing

I turned around to talk to Jamie, and when I turned back, Thad was preparing to sit in Thea's basin. I guess he didn't feel wet enough!









We convinced him to try to fit in the big bucket instead--that turned out to be a pretty big hit!





'hmm this is a funny feeling' - he had so much fun sitting down in the water and then standing back up! we had to refill the bucket a number of times.



Thad had so much fun sitting in the bucket, I had trouble getting him to come inside later, even though he was really cold. It was a really warm day, but sitting in the shade in a bucket of cold water can be quite chilly!
