Water Fun Day

Lily got to go to the Oasis for water fun day again this year.  Years 1-3 go and just play games in the shallow water while the older grades actually compete in swimming races.  I bet Lily can't wait to compete in a race, but for now she will have to be satisfied with throwing sponges and filling up buckets.  :)

Here's the little cutie ready to go.

 Here is Will playing on the playground that was conveniently fenced off from the water area, so I just trapped him in there and just went and watched Lily.

 Water balloon/wet sponge toss.  Nobody could catch or throw so the water balloon didn't last long, so they had to switch to a wet sponge.

 Yahoo!  Lily actually caught it!

 So locking Will in the playground only worked for so long.  Here he is getting busted eating rocks and dirt.

 Here's Lily at another station...they had a bucket full of holes that they were supposed to use to fill up their cylinder with water.  I was impressed with Lily's method.  She would drag the bucket in the water until right before she got to her cylinder and then lift it as fast as she could so as not to loose very much water.  I thought it was quite brilliant.

 Here is an over under sponge pass that the last person had to take the sponge and ring it out in their teams bucket.  The point was to fill up your bucket the fastest.  Nobody really kept track...it was seriously chaos.  I am so amazed that this school does this and the swim lessons in school as a sponsored school activity.  So much liability involved.  But, eh, whatever, it's fun for my kids.

 I think Lily had a pretty fun time at the water fun day.  And it was great weather for it.  :)

Here are a few random photos of Will in this little car thing on the main street.  We just happened to be walking past and so, of course, he had to sit in it for a while.  I didn't have a dollar to fork over for a ride, but who knows if it even works.  :)

 He's very serious about his driving.

 Here he's making a very authentic sounding car noise.  Such a cutie!
