Our first sprinkler park and swimming of the season

So the girls have been begging me since March to take them to the sprinkler parks or to go swimming.  And normally we do so sometime in May, but this year has been cooler and rainier than most.  As a result we haven't gone till this past weekend.

 Savannah got a watering can (which she asked Santa for) for Christmas.  She has been itching to use it ever since then.  Well, at the sprinkler park she spent most of her time filling it up and watering the grass and cement.  I sure hope she knows that the cement won't grow.

 Colette loved the sprinker park.  She was independent and had a ball.  One of her good friends, Liam, was there.  I didn't get a good picture of them together, but they had so much fun playing and getting wet together.

 Leila loves to get wet, except her face.  Here she is trying to fill the bucket to help Savannah water the cement, without getting her face wet. 

 And lastly, the next three pictures are of the girls jumping in the pool.  It seemed to take the girls all summer last year to build up the confidence to jump in, but the first time going this summer, they not only jumped in, but they did it without me there to catch them.

Our First Field Day Experience

Savannah's school had Field Day this past Friday.  There were something like 12 or 15 events which the kids rotated through.  They competed against another kindergarten class.  Most of the time they got beaten, but they were all so busy having fun, they didn't seem to mind.

 Savannah said this was the funnest event because the girls competed against the boys and the girls won.  As you can see, she is pulling with all her might with her best friend in front of her.

 This is the first time that Savannah ever tried popping a balloon by sitting on it.  She had a hard time but finally was able to get it.  Most of the kiddos needed the assistance of their teacher sticking something sharp in the balloon to pop it.

 They got to play and do whatever they wanted with hula hoops.  Savannah decided to use it as a jump rope. 

 And her favorite event was flag tag.  They played three rounds and the girls won.  As a result, one of the girls' fathers said he would buy the whole class pizza for lunch.  Savannah was pretty happy about that.

And lastly, at the end of the day they had an "end of the year" class party.  As you can see, Savannah had fun, but she was pretty worn out by this point.
