Soaking Wet

I picked up this awesome sand and water table at Costco yesterday. After stopping at Walmart for sand, which turned out to be bright blue, we came home and set it up. Owen loves to splash in the water side and throw the sand out of the other.
After about 10 minutes of playing at the table, he scooted to the side of the house to see what the girls were up to. I had told them to wash the blue sand off their feet using the hose spicket, before coming inside. Owen scooted right onto the rocks (ouch) and he was in heaven!
The girls put the rug down for him to sit on and we let him play until he was BLUE!!!


Look at those blueberry lips! It wasn't exactly warm out, at 80 degrees, and the water must have been freezing. It was a small price to pay for those twenty minutes of bliss.
Big shout out...Owen stood up last night with NO HANDS!!!! I'll get him on video tonight. He's going to be walking in no time!

I am so jealous of 80 degrees!! We keep getting crazy snow storms up here. They don't ever amount to much, but still!! I can't wait until my kids are playing outside in the water and sand, and soaking up some sun, and eating popsicles. *sigh*

Cute pics! We had the same bright blue sand last year. The boys loved it.

What a good mom to just let him go for it, even if he does turn blue. That last picture says it all. Love it!

P.S. - I knew you were from UT but had no idea you went to Bingham. We love it here.
