Splash!

Rachael and her kiddies hosted a water party for the cousins today and we had a wet, wild time. I think Nathan summed it up very nicely when he exclaimed, "I've never been this wet!"

We arrived a few minutes late and were almost taken out by some very serious water gunning.

Matthew was a bit parched and rather than ask for his drink, he took a big swig of gun water. Yum . . . not.

The best way to get warm after taking a dip in spring run-of (aka. ice) water.

Dillon was contemplating just what he could do with the wiggly sprinkler.

Unfortunately for everyone within range, Nathan already knows exactly what to do with the wiggly sprinkler.

Matthew finally figured out how to jump and was pleased as punch every time he splashed down. Banzai! (And in case you are wondering, his granola bar accompanied him for his entire first hour of splashing and was amazingly still dry by the time lunch rolled around.)

Daniel and Josh in the midst of a very serious conversation about dinosaurs. They are the Future Paleontologists of America, after all.

I forgot to take the swim diapers. After an hour of splashing, Matthew's swim trunks could no longer contain his Pampers.

Ella and Brina having a little girl time.

Once the big kids were done in the water, Drew and Matthew had a grand old time with the Slip and Slide (or the Crawl and Lay Down if you do it like Matthew does.)
