Monday was a really hot day. And what goes best with a hot day? Popsicles and water slides of course! After lunch, all the older kids enjoyed a popsicle before nap time, and after they woke up from naps, we had transformed our backyard playground into a water park! It was certainly a fun day for everyone.

Of course, Olivia ate hers quite daintily; she was the only one who didn't need to change clothes afterwards, actually. |

By the end of her popsicle, Abigail got the award for being the stickiest mess. But boy was it a yummy mess!

Cheryl really loved her peach popsicle. She didn't know what to call it though, so she called it "Bing Xiang Li," which translates as, "In the refridgerator." By the end, it was "Duzi Li," which means "In my belly." |

There's a line to go down. |
