More Fun in the Sun!

So, we had another beautiful day, and this time we were able to invite friends over to play in the water with us! This was the day that Tyson left, so we had to do something to distract ourselves from the sadness that always comes when he leaves. We called at noon to invite people over around 2 or so. It was sunny when we called, but then it got cloudy and overcast. We got ready anyway, and it was a good thing we did, because the sun came back out and it was nice out!

Thomas really likes being outside. We ended up with 5 babies there, and we had all the walkers outside for them to talk turns in. Isn't Thomas cute? I think so!
We had our little pool filled up with water- sort of. I didn't plan that well, and there was more slope than I realized, but by the time I noticed it, it was too late to move it. The kids had fun anyway, and by the time they were done playing, they had emptied it out for me!

We also put the sprinkler under the trampoline for a bit. Because we have well water, and I don't want to run out, we did it in about 30 minute intervals. But the kids really had fun playing in the water on the trampoline. The trampoline makes the water not feel as cold by the time it hits the kids.

Our friend, Natalie, surprised us by showing up in the same swimming suit that Rachel was wearing! She didn't have any idea that Rachel had this suit either, but I thought it was pretty cute, so I had to get a picture of the twinners.

This is me at the end of the day. Do you see the pink? My sister told me it looked like I was going to be in lots of pain. My arms got pretty pink too. It was pink, but wasn't too sore, just when Thomas catches me off guard with his little finger nails. I am all better now though!

Jen -- that all looks so great, I am incredibly jealous. It is constantly over 100 here, and very unpleasant to be out in. Texas is crazy, we would love to be back in Alaska. I remember fondly sending the kids out to play and not worrying about crazy things like fire ants, scorpions, and poisonous snakes! I love your pink by the way -- you look great!

Your pink will turn to tan...at least I always remember you being able to tan quite easily. I'm excited for you that Robert and Bethany are up there. Your kids are going to have so much fun growing up together!
And I really like your new background!
