Fun in the Sun

Since Chris doesn't always get to have weekends off work these days, we've been doing our best to enjoy every minute we have together when he is home.
One of our favorite things to do is play in our backyard together. We swim in the toddler pool, do the hopscotch sprinkler and play with bubbles. But our newest favorite is water balloons. Tanner LOVES them so much. Granted- he hardly ever hits anything besides the grass right in front of you, but he has such a good time doing it. We'll go through 40 or so balloons in a matter of minutes. It cracks me up to watch him. Bailey laughs so hard watching her brother running around. We probably played outside together for about 3 hours before it was time for naps.
Here's Chris and Tanner filling up the water balloons

As soon as Chris ties the balloon off, Tanner picks it up and throws it

We followed this tutorial to make awesome Giant Bubbles

After getting the kids dried off we ate ice cream cones on the back porch.

Then Chris and I were able to relax and watch a movie while the kids napped. Then it was Sonic for Dinner and milkshakes for dessert. I love days like that, when you spend all day together having fun and everyone is happy and well behaved. We had such a blast with each other. Love it!
