Even more fun with friends!

Sprinklers are even more fun with friends! We invited the neighbor boys over to enjoy some water play!

Keeley, trying to protect herself from the spray:

Keeley tried to get Daddy to hold her hand through the sprinkler again, like last time, but alas, Daddy was prepping the BBQ. Luken stepped up to the plate, though, and took her back and forth once. He can be just the SWEETEST big brother!!!! :D

Apparently that satisfied her, as she stuck to the porch afterwards!

Ethan had a fabulous time out there!

Then it was time to dry off and chill out. Here's Jacob, all wrapped up!

And Ethan, hamming it up for me with a big, "Cheeeeeeeeeeeeese!!!" :D

After that, we had a lovely dinner of BBQ'd hot dogs and corn on the cob, yum! :D

Splashing and Sprinkling!

Todd and the kids had some fun in the afternoon on Father's Day, playing in the sprinklers! At first the kids weren't quite sure if they liked it, but they warmed up quickly to the idea! Now I can't wait to take them to the local sprinkler parks. Last year Luken didn't want anything to do with them, but I have a feeling this summer will be different! :D

Warning.... LOTS and LOTS of pics here! I had some trouble taking the pictures, as the only safe place for my camera was tucked way back on the patio. (I have some friends with cool new waterproof digital point and shoot cameras, and I'm starting to feel a little jealous!) And, the sun was peeking in and out, making thing difficult technically, but what fun!!

We loved the rainbow that showed in the sprinklers!
