Backyard Fun

The weather has quickly turned from spring like, to an normal hot and humid Atlanta summer. Luckily, Carter received some gifts for his birthday to help cure the summer heat. To really beat the heat, nothing is better than a sit in the kiddie pool in the backyard!


Once Carter felt sufficiently cooled, it was off to playing with his new water table (it is a sand/water table, but for Mom and Dad's sanity and lack of cleaning ambition, both sides are full of water at this time).

We brought some bath time toys to play with and Carter quickly grabbed onto his favorite rubber duck while Dad played with the what wheel.

Carter soon got into the action with the water toys and the smiles and giggles quickly followed

Carter spent a good part of the afternoon exploring the fun that is water

And Dad made sure to keep him sufficiently entertained

We were soon back in the kiddie pool, but we had forgotten how cold the water was. It was a quick re-entry/exit the second time around.

But the water fun was not over, suddenly it started raining on Carter (which was a bit off given the crystal clear sky). Carter soon turned his attention to Dad to find the cause of the drops

Which quickly changed from surprise and confusion, to intrigue and curiosity as to how the hose worked.

Over all it was a great afternoon with Carter having a great time in his newly updated backyard
