We'd purchased a wading pool during a warm spell before Easter (largely because we've found if you don't jump on the summer toys in spring, they're all gone by the time you really, really want them in say, June or July) and brought it home (tied to the top of the minivan) with our delighted girls (who'd have rather been riding on the top of the minivan in the pool, water or no). Sadly, though, once we'd gotten the pool home, the weather turned cooler and we spent lots of time explaining why it wasn't warm enough to "swim."
That is, until this weekend, when the weather suddenly became very warm. (It's less like spring weather than summer, really. In fact, the expected high today is in the 90s!) It was the perfect excuse to bring out the wading pool!
I don't think it would be overstating the case to say that the girls dove right into the water play.
It took a couple of days for Madeline to warm up to the wading pool's little slide. But once she figured it out, she didn't want to stop sliding!
But she did a little "hanging out" for good measure, too...
We're looking forward to lots more fun in the sun this summer!

Looks like a TON of fun! What kind of pool is that - I love the slide feature!
Ohh - I would so much like to come visit!
You can take the kids out of Hawaii, but....you can imagine the thoughts here, too.
Wow. That is one cool pool. Too bad it'll never be warm enough out here for that kind of fun. I LOVE that picture of Kathleen with the bucket too. Priceless.
