Recovery day

Today was our recovery day from VBS.  I got up at 8:30am.  Emily got up at 9:00am.  Lincoln didn't wake up until almost 10:00am.  We had absolutely nothing planned.  We got out the bouncy house and played in that for awhile.  It was humid but not really hot outside, so it was a perfect day to play with water.  Lincoln was entertained for quite some time by a hose hooked up to a rain barrel and turned on with a slow trickle.

 
Emily had fun creating a "garden" by the new air condenser.  She planted several bushes by pulling pieces off of existing bushes, sticking them in the dirt and watering them.  She hopes to be able to climb in the bushes someday. ;o)

After nap time we got out the new sprinkler purchased with Lincoln's birthday money.  It's pretty fun.  We only had it on halfway, which kept the streams of water pretty much steady.  If you turn the water on all the way the noodle things spray the water in all crazy directions.  The kids had fun, but weren't keen on getting really wet, as you can see.  I'm sure there will be plenty of that in the future. :o)

The best part of the day was if you got hot you could just run into an air-conditioned house!

You have been a busy blogger and I am behind so I have a lot of catching up to do! Hooray for your new air conditioning. Walking into a cool house is so refreshing. Like my dad always says, 'air conditioning is man's greatest invention.'
