Water Fun

Last night we headed outside after supper to enjoy the weather. We went to put water boots on the girls and we didn't have any that fit Keltie, so of course this led to tears. (Don't worry, a phone call later and it was put on the birthday wish list). Anyway, she put on her regular boots and we told her that her feet were probably going to get wet and when they did, she would have to tell us when she wanted to go in. The project was breaking up the ice in our yard and trying to get it to flow. The girls had a blast helping Daddy with their shovels and following him around. After about an hour, Keltie said that she wanted to go in. She was very calm about it so we didn't think anything of it. I took her in the garage and took off her boots. They were SOAKING wet. By soaking wet, I mean I dumped out water and I could squeeze the water out of her socks. She was a trooper about it, but we felt awful.

Walking in the backyard. See how deep she is?

Watching the water run down the hill.

Getting in deeper and deeper.

When she sees the camera, she's got to say "Cheese."

"Teamwork, gets the job done faster." (Yes, they are in the pajamas.)

"Is this how you do it Daddy?"

Have to have a little taste of it. Yuck!

This is what is left of the fort. (I don't know what that face is all about.)

The joy of living in the country on a road that isn't well traveled. Kinsley is waving to the car that went by.
