Water Hopscotch

Yesterday Ava got a new toy to help her stay cool during the hot summer.  I found a water hopscotch game and knew it would be perfect for Ava whose newest mode of transportation is jumping.  At first she was cautious and walked around it a few times before trying it out.  But once she gave it a try she loved it and jumped back and forth for about 20-30 minutes.  Even Rich and I gave it a try.  I think it will be a great way to enjoy playing outside during the hot summer.

First time through and she is already smiling.

I love this picture because of the big smile on her face and it looks like she is running through the air.

Another good jumping picture.

This picture is to show off Ava's cute swim suit.  This is the suit she picked out.  She loves the wings on the back.  When I asked her if she is a bumblebee she replies, "the wings are not real they are pretend wings."

In this picture Rich just jumped and made the water squirt up higher in Ava's face.  It was pretty funny.

Ava liked to try and drink the water.

After a long day of running errands and playing in the sun Ava was exhausted.  She was so tired she laid down on the cement and almost fell asleep.
