Warm Weather Fun

It has been really warm lately and so the boys and I have been busy enjoying the sun and warmth.
Especially after my recent trip to Idaho where I woke up to this:
Beautiful and charming in January, not so much in May.

We tried the San Jose zoo this week. Happy Hollow Park and Zoo. It was pretty good. Although all you Idahoans will be glad to know that the zoo park doesn't hold a candle to Tautphaus Park.
There were very few animals but for Luke the little rides made up for the lack of cool animals to look at. He LOVED the rides. I think he got my appreciation for a good roller coaster.

Mostly we have been hanging out in the backyard because I am too hot and tired to do anything else. I count it as multi-tasking: watering the lawn (b/c something is wrong with the sprinklers), exercising Biscuit (running away from the boys) and bath time. Some may just call it lazy but you be the judge.

It starts out like this:
nice cooperative play with a little water..

soon it has progressed to this:

... no clothes, more water, still lots of fun...

Usually this is the end:
Me inside escaping the water, the boys fighting over who holds the hose and Biscuit begging for mercy.

I think that looks smart, kill three birds with one stone or rather wear out three boys with one hose.

that looks so familiar! I'm glad I'm not the only one whose children strip down in the backyard! I love it, looks like a perfect afternoon! xo
