Late Night Water Fun

My daughter had a friend over on Wednesday and then she spent the night. It was a fantastic twenty four hours of pure laughter and lots of chatter between these two sweet girls. They met while in third grade and have maintained their friendship despite different classrooms, and changes in schools. What a treat to see two girls just picking up where they left off.

Fortunately, we had one of the rare sunny days of the summer and they spent all of their time outside. It wasn't until all the neighborhood pack went in for bed, that our kiddos decided it was the perfect time for a late night water fun.

Really? When the sun goes down here it is chilly. But why not - that is what sleepovers are all about - just having fun.

They lasted about twenty minutes in the water; nineteen minutes longer than I had anticipated. But the screams of laughter proved that they were enjoying the moment and building great memories.

They look really cold!

My husband lit the Tiki Torches and built a fire in the firepit to create a warm glow and "for warmth." The kids hung around the fire getting warm - until they heard branches crackling in the woods behind our fenceline. They made a bee-line inside and decided it was time to rotate through the warm showers.

Ahhh, memories.
