Homemade Sprinkler Park

Since Cory misses out on all our fun sprinkler park adventures during the week, I decided to make our own on the back porch so he could see just how much Ethan enjoys the water. My grandparents and aunt Paula gave Ethan the greatest water fun gift which included a kid sprinkler, pool, and bathing suit, among other things. So here's E trying them out:

He loved the sprinkler.

and drinking the water

then, he would crawl in the pool and back out again

and then do some laps around the sprinkler. It got a little slippery and it caused a few belly flops, which he thought was hilarious. He especially liked to chase us around the deck and splash. It was some good weekend fun.

And then here's a couple pictures from one of the big kid sprinkler parks we went to:

He liked it at first

but then I think it was a little intimidating so he would only hold our hands and walk around (here he's with the girl I nanny for, Rebecca).

The handsome boy taking a break and having a snack. How did he become a little man already?!?

And the other day in the bath tub he started doing this, which was too funny not to get on camera:

So, we finally caught up on all our videos. Here's a few flashback compilations from his first year.
