Beating the Heat

We decided that today we would beat the heat with a redneck waterbed and a kiddie pool.  We filled up L's pool and played in it for quite a while.  All 3 of us ended up completely soaked.  Then dad put together the redneck waterbed and we had a blast on it while it lasted!  We accidentally bought the thinner plastic sheeting this time though so it sprung a leak pretty quickly; oh well, it was still an absolute blast!  L had a great time on it, he would flop down on it and roll around hehe.
After he romped on it for a bit, my husband and I decided to add shaving cream to the waterbed.  This was such a good idea, and it made things so much more fun!  L loved spreading the shaving cream all over the waterbed and rolling in it.  All 3 of us ended up covered in shaving cream again, it was so much fun!!

Of course, it wasn't long before dad and L began romping and wrestling around as usual.  It looked like such a fun time that I cleaned up for a second to snap a few pictures.  These guys love to wrestle with each other, and a redneck waterbed with shaving cream added was the perfect recipe for romping!

This was a great activity, but I think it was mostly because of the shaving cream.  Haha, I think that L could play in shaving cream every day of his life and have a blast with it.  Afterward we had a blast cleaning up because we got to chase and spray each other with the water hose.  We played in the pool for a bit longer and then all went for a small walk in the neighborhood and we were completely soaked, I'm sure we were a sight :p.
