4th of July (Post 1 of 3)

 The kids spent the afternoon splashing in the kiddie pools we just bought.  (We couldn't find any of the old ones from previous summers, so we got two new ones.) At daycare, there is a whale pool where water comes out of the spout.  We couldn't find that one, but we did find this hippo that you hook the hose to and the water comes out behind his head:
 The making of our starfish child:
 Don't you love it?  She had to have all of the float rings at once!
Liz and I, as well as our next-door-neighbor, Angela, lived in a pool like this most of the summer.  It had to be at least 80 to set it up.  So far this summer, that hasn't been a problem.  It is in the 90's most days.  It's fun to see my kids carry on the outdoor fun.  Swimming isn't as fun if you don't have the slide ready to go too:
 Kadie was braving the spray out of the hippo...brrrrr! 
 Hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July. 
STAY COOL:
