Water Wrestling

Tuesday was hot!  So we got the boys' little plastic pool from last summer out for them to splash around in after their nap.  They got brand new water shoes that day and loved trying them out in the pool.  The water was a bit chilly and I didn't think they'd want to get very wet or play in it for too long, but none of them seemed to mind at all.  Their water dancing soon turned into water wrestling, and after Owen quietly bowed out, the fight for the championship was down to Oliver and Spencer.  They're typically the ones who roughhouse with each other the most; you can see the look of determination on Oliver's face as he's about to take Spencie down!  Spencie quickly came back for more, knocking Oliver down a couple times, but in the end I think Oliver declared himself the king of the pink pool :)  After that, the boys soon discovered that going down the slide in wet diapers and shorts made them fly much faster than usual and we had a little slip 'n slide session with lots of wet bottoms and sloppy landings.  I can't believe it, but Spencer pretty much has climbing the fort ladder down (with me spotting him very closely of course!) and has no fear each time he scrambles up to the top!  We had a fun afternoon at home with wet, muddy, grassy, laughing boys - followed by burgers on the grill for dinner and a nice bath.  It felt like a perfect preview of more lazy summer days to come!!
