Summer Boy

Cannon has been in love with "auside" since we got a fence a week ago. He comes in to sleep and eat but otherwise he's been in his own 2-year-old world. He loves his froggy pool, arctic water table, the hose, his water slide, Popsicles, and torturing "gashoppers". It's like a big tall babysitter with slats. I can watch him from my kitchen table with the AC cranked up. It's a win/win situation, really.

Here are some pictures from his adventures today. He's happier than I've ever seen him, and that makes a for a happy momma.
the next two are from the 48.2 seconds he spent indoors today. Notice a difference? I thought so.
Can we go back out please?

Sounds like what goes on at our place. Michael would live outdoors if it was possible. LOL And the other day Michael caught his first hopper as he calls them. Oh boys are so funny.

OKay so what is an arctic water table? And what kind of water slide do you have?? I'm needing more water toys for the back yard so we can last longer in this heat! My kids LOVE it outside!!
