Water Works!


While Grammie was with the kids when we were in Hawaii, she surprised them with an outdoor water spray mat thingy. Jake's been a little unsure about it, but this week he finally decided he liked it. Today, we pulled it out and decided to have a little fun in the water. If I don't have time to fill the pool up, this is the next best thing. Although I have to set the spray really low for Jake at first (spraying no more than 2 inches). Jake will actually sit in the middle and play in the water, but Abby loves crawling around it, drinking out of each spray like a water fountain. Today Jake decided he'd also try this to see if he was missing anything.

After playing in the sprinkler for a bit, they decided to take a break and play with the water hose. They love turning the water up high and watching the sprinkler. In the pictures though, you'll see Abby is tired of Jake hogging the faucet and actually decides to bite him! No worries, Jake just pushes her off. (If any of you know of a child proof mechanism for the outside faucet, let me know. I definitely need something!)

After turning the water up high, they both ran to see the sprinkler again. Jake actually played with it and wasn't scared. Yeah Jake! Abby still tried to drink the water.
