It wouldn't be summer in Boulder without hot air balloons. We had one right over the house recently. Xander is quite fond of balloons and thought it was great to be able to wave to the people in the basket.Of course, playing on the slide and climbing in and out of the toy box are favorite activities too!
Watering the garden is lots of fun, but it can be thirsty work . It is so hard to get the spray just right!
The good news is that you can always play in the sprinklers too!
Xander has also been really enjoying the neighborhood pool this summer. He is fearless jumping in (I'm afraid of when I won't be there to catch him!) and he loves to hold onto the noodle and kick in the big pool. He is getting pretty good at swimming around the big pool that way. The kids pool is also always fun, with friends to play with.
Xander likes to ride his strider bike and is getting quite quick on that little bike. His balance is getting very good and he is starting to really coast on it for some distance now. Of course with all the miles he's putting on that bike these days it needs a tuneup every once in a while, and Xander is excited to do that too!
Xander doesn't get to have all the fun though, Maya has been enjoying her summer as well, although admittedly it is a bit less active! At 5 1/2 months she isn't crawling yet, but manages to roll and wiggle enough that she can move around pretty well. She is curious about everything and loves to pick things up, and then typically sticks them in her mouth.
After all the playing is done, it is time to clean up. Xander is quite fond of washing his hands, sometimes with LOTS of soap, and Maya loves her baths.
Of course all this activity is enough to wear these kids out.
Once the kids are off to bed I get a chance to sneak in workout number two for the day on the trainer. Then it's off to bed for me too!
