Beat the Heat with a Splash!

We have been having some triple digits days here in So Cal. So in order to beat the heat we have been taking every opportunity to get wet and enjoy the summer.

A new park opened up down the street from us in Baldwin Park and it has a splash pad! The kids have really been enjoying this fun way to keep cool. Ethan's face tells the whole story!

Here is Brielle planning how she is going to squirt Ethan with the hose at the Splash Pad. Little does she know that Ethan doesn't mind a bit.



Our good friend Larry manages a members only pool club that he designed in the hills of Pasadena. He got all of us in there one day for a sneak peak and dinner. We all had a great time playing on the wet toys and going down the slides.

Speaking of slides, here is Megster and Ethan coming down with a splash. A split second after this shot James was totally soaked along with the camera. Thank goodness the camera is waterproof!

We have also been spending a fair amount of time up at Grandma and Grandpa Finlay's pool. It is a great place for the kids to practice their swimming skills.

One day this week all the cousins went to Bolsa Chica beach. The weather was perfect and James was a little jealous that he was at work and not in the cool weather along the coast. All the kids enjoyed the treats and some (ahem, Ethan) ate a little too much sand as well.

Here Megster leads the kids into the surf at the beach. Gotta start them young!

Looks like so much fun! I saw this and told Zack we haven't spent nearly enough time in the water this summer. We'll have to fix that.
