Crazy Days of Summer Week Three: Water

We’re three weeks into summer here in small town Missouri and having an absolute blast. Despite the summer heat, we’ve managed to stay cool.

Slipping and sliding.

Splashing in the creek.

And, squeezing in a little bit of sprinkler fun.

…………………….

I’m thrilled to be teaming up with the fabulous Alicia of Project Alicia for the Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge – a super fun weekly summer photography meme aimed at capturing the lazy crazy days of summer, complete with inspirational themes. We’d love for you to grab your camera and join in the fun!

Your yard is awesome for these fun water activities. Our slip n’ slide and sprinkler are always on a hill. You are a fun mom to pack so much into a week! And you managed some great shots.

We do have a pretty good yard for Slip-n-Slides, but it sucks when it snows. No sledding in our yard! :(

I love the last one – with the drops of water splashing off her legs! Totally cool shots. You were a smart gal for keeping your camera close by during these fun times! I have missed a few amazing pic moments because I didn’t.




Kristi (3460 comments) twitter: @TweetingMama

Thanks Annie! I’m glad that I had my camera on hand too. Who knew that playing in a sprinkler would look so cool!

I got the kids a sprinkler a few weeks ago…
and still haven’t gotten it hooked up yet!
Great photos!




Kristi (3460 comments) twitter: @TweetingMama

Uh-oh! Hopefully you’ve hooked the sprinkler up since you commented several days ago. If not, your kids are welcome to come over and play in ours. ;)

LOVE IT! Sam loves playing in the sprinklers as well. Have to break it and the slip n slide out once he gets home from camp. Thanks for being one of the fab hostesses! :)




Kristi (3460 comments) twitter: @TweetingMama

I can’t wait to see pics of Sam playing in the sprinkler and Slip-n-Slide!
By the way, I’m so sorry to hear about your friend. She was so young. I can’t even imagine your loss. So, so sorry. :(

That first shot is so cool! You know, now that I am an adult I just don’t get the appeal of sprinklers… they are SO COLD! LOL!




Kristi (3460 comments) twitter: @TweetingMama

Haha! I don’t get the appeal of sprinklers either! My 2 year old hates it, but my older kids love it. :)

I only have a picture of L at the pool last year because so far I haven’t taken him — it’s been too cold here :)
