The Start of Summer


Today officially marks the beginning of summer.
We set up a water slide on our lawn for the girls - 
connected the garden hose and watched Emily 
entertain herself running up and down the orange slide 
through the little arcs of water. Although it's designed 
for one to slide on one's stomach from one end 
to the little pool at the other, Emily decided to save that 
particular acrobatic stunt for another day - 
perhaps when the temperature hits 100? 
Jenna, fresh (or not) from her afternoon nap, 
was a little more reserved with this new toy

and preferred to stand still and collect water 
in her little bucket before getting out, all within 5 minutes.

And then we took a refreshment break on the deck for ice creams


Our other project for the day was assembling 
the new swingset in our backyard, ready to be stabilized 
in its post holes in the ground with cement tomorrow. 
Pictures soon!
