Water, Water, Everywhere!!

Each evening in Yucaipa gets better and better as we head toward fall. Right about 5:30 the shade is nice and the temperature is cool enough for us to venture to the backyard. Ben and Sarah love it. We play in the sandbox (what daddy originally built to be a horseshoe pit...sorry daddy, that will have to wait!), slide, swing, chase the cat, pet the dog, and our favorite activity, playing at the water table that Grandma (Marilee) gave Ben for his first birthday.

Sarah loves it just as much as Ben. She has become quite the "water" chef. Tyson has dubbed her restaurant "Chez Benjamin".


Benjamin really gets into what he is playing! My pictures do not do justice to what this boy truly looked like in person! Well, he lost the shirt immediately because it was DRENCHED about a minute after the water table was filled up and Ben got his hands on the hose! His shorts are soaked on the front (and partially on the back) and his legs are covered with sand (causing mommy to have to clean his tub EVERY night!!! :) His hair and face have been poured upon over and over from the hose, cups, splashing, you name it!

We love to drink the water, too!!!!!! (One of the best parts!!!)

Thank you for the water table, Grandma!!! :)
