This summer has been a lot of fun for our little family. As I am sure you can tell from the previous posts about museum trips, daycations, park visits, boat rides, water gun fights, etc. Matthew really enjoys being outside. And even though I don't care for the heat and humidity that we have endured this summer, it is worth putting up with it for a little while to watch him play and explore. The pool has been a welcome activity. It is worth the circle of dead grass under the weight of the pool to have some relief from the hot sun. The pool we got this year is big enough for all three os us to sit in. Now if we are all in it, then there is really nowhere for Matthew to play, but it does allow us to briefly cool off.
The slide offered a lot of additional fun for Matthew. He was content for awhile just sliding normally down it.
Then he started going head first down it.
And backwards.
Then came the jumping off the top of the slide. I cringed the first few times, but Brian was right there making sure he didn't get hurt.
He had so much fun this summer splashing around, swimming and putting his face in the water. I think we will store this pool for next summer. The little inflatable one that we got last year probably won't make it again. But his hard plastic one (much like the ones I played in as a kid) should weather the elements in the barn until next summer.
