Splish, splash

Lucy got a fun splash mat as a birthday gift from the Pudwills, and we put it to good use during an especially hot evening after work last week. We set it up in the front yard underneath the beach umbrella while Andrew and I sat in our camp chairs -- it was quite the [white trash] sight and we got lots of honks and waves from the neighbors. :)

Lucy went to town trying to "catch" the water squirts in her hands and scoop it up into her bucket. So cute.

Ella watched all of the crazy goings on from the safety of the window sill inside the house.

Lucy eventually got tired of being confined to her mini-water palace and decided it would be more exciting to chase Evie around the front yard (which was now resembling more of a swamp) in nothing but her swim diaper. Evie didn't seem to want to cooperate, but it was funny to see Lucy try! Check out how fasting she's crawling these days.

P.S. Sorry for all the noise -- the neighbors were mowing their yard!
