Memorial Day

Gosh it's such a nice day outside... too bad we have to keep the kids inside. I mean, there's nothing to... do... LETS HAVE A WATER PARTY!

It was Amy's idea. We pulled out the old rotting swimming pool and cleaned it up.  It was Luke's first backyard swim and he loved it.  Isaac had a blast too although in his own little way.  He has his way of going off into his own world where the most important thing is to be a responsible farmer and water the dying plants. Isaac has NEVER liked water in his face. Actually he's never like anything on his face... ever since he got it smashed up against Amy's pelvis and a pair of forceps. Luke on the other hand LOVES the water. If we ever left him alone he'd drown so fast but I'm pretty sure he'd be real happy dying that way.  These two boys are so fun to watch when they play. Usually because of these personality differences and a huge age difference you can easily be entertained by at least one of them at a time. And then when they interact and play together it's just priceless, and sometimes hilarious.  We didn't catch it on video but at first Isaac and Luke were enjoying the pool... both of them sitting down.  Luke then splashed and the water hit Isaac's face. Isaac started screaming in terror and Luke shrieked out in fun and immediately began a splashing rampage. Isaac had no choice but to escape and he never sat down next to Luke again. ha ha, throughout the day Isaac would show that he bore some grudge about it and I'd watch him sneak over to Luke and try to splash him in the face with water but every time Isaac would consequently get a drop on his own face, and fall back crying, mixing the water with his defeated little tears. Luke would just act like nothing happened and start splashing all over himself again.   Here's a video for your entertainment.  It's not of anything I just described. Sorry, but the laws of the universe always prohibit the best moments from getting on camera.

Here's to Summer! I mean, who says you gotta wait for memorial day to open up the swimming pools right?
