our own backyard water park

I got this great idea to put Griffin's castle slide in his pool so he could slide down into the water. He loved it!
drinking from the water hose...
let me hold it, Mom..
I'll just water this grass over here for you.
he liked the mud...

this is a classic Griffin expression..

Our friends, Sarah and her baby Ben came over the other day and played outside with us. Ben seems to be Griffin's best buddy.
Can I pour this water on you?
water table time..

Griffin and I loved being outside today for about two hours. We swam, played in the water table, swung, then played with the water hose. Griffin loved drinking from the hose and letting me splash water on him with it. It was such a sweet time with him. A day I'll prob always remember with him.

Thank You, Lord, for our backyard. Thank You, for letting me have so much time to spend with my sweet little boy. Thank You, for the sunshine You've been giving us and the nice, summer days. Thank You, for letting us have water to play in and enjoy. May we always appreciate it and enjoy these gifts You give us, glorifying You in our hearts with thanksgiving.
