Splishy-Splashy

On hot days, my mom keeps alittle pool set up for grand-kid drop-ins. 

It really draws you in when the only thing in your own yard is a slip-n-slide on it's way to the trash pile (full of irreparable holes) and a concrete mixing basin fit for only one 5 year old at a time.

Chloe can actually practice "swimming" in it :-)

Meanwhile Evan finds ways to fashion ordinary pool/yard toys into projectiles.

After a few hours they peter out and the pool has worked it's magic.

Drying off.....

Chloe was too tired for me to take her picture.

"Whatever you do, just don't smile. AT ALL. okay??"

Works every time.  Just like the pool.
