Play Play Play

We spend most of everyday playing outside these days. We go to the pool once or twice a week, parks, zoo, our porch, wherever we can go to be outside. We go on walks almost every evening - Zane rides his bike or scooter and Emerson walks or rides in her stroller. Today we spent 3 full hours swimming at a pool in Parker that had fountains, slides, warm water, and a fun climbing gym. I wish I had video of Emmy having no fear walking through huge fountains and Zane going down a fast water slide. Next time. I love summer.

They have a sand box for kids to play in at the zoo, so we stopped for a while to play. Emmy usually just sits in one spot and tries to use a shovel to fill a bucket with sand. Zane is usually exploring and trying new things.
Here's another sandbox that we found at another park...
We were there with our playgroup. This is Tessa and Cody, Zane and Emerson's good friends who we like to spend time with.


Zane got a new sprinkler toy for his birthday and it's been a main source of entertainment for all of us since.

Here's a video of Zane and Emmy playing with it. They like to turn it one while the other one is next to it. Zane kept trying to tell (and gently push) her to get closer and then run over and turn it on.

Zane and I were cracking up. I couldn't stop laughing at Emmy's response to getting wet.

Good old water table
Zack even got in on the action. I've never heard Zane laugh harder than when Zack let him get him wet!
