In the crazy weather we have to stay armed for whatever comes our way :) We went from hail to 100 degrees in less than 3 weeks. That just makes the children (and most adults) crazy! Since they didn't get much of a spring we have jumped right into summer. We are doing our best to stay cool by whatever means necessary.
We had a water balloon toss the other day. Which ended up being a game of how many kids could sit on the water balloon before it popped. Turns out, most of our kids are not all that good at catching and it is fairly hard to convince the little ones to throw the balloon to their friends because that would mean that their turn was over. But we had lots of fun. They had a blast and a little break from the heat.
We have broken out the sprinkler. This is my favorite way to do water play, because it is so open to interpretation. They can run through it, catch it on their tongues, in a bucket, or sit and just let it rain down. Plus it waters the grass. They love it, just the simple sprinkler no bells or whistles or moving parts.
It is going to be a long hot summer. We will have to be creative from here...
