Kiddie pool and fascinating bubbles

We spent last Sat. clearing out the space by our front porch of leaves and clipped back some branches to make this little play area. We have no yard....yes, no yard, which is hard in the summer time. The ground is apparently too acidic for grass to survive well under where all the pine needles fall. Our neighbors gave us the turtle sand box, a little wheel barrel, and some toy garden tools. Today we set up the kiddie pool and it was too much fun. The water was pretty cold, straight from the hose!!



Did you know that bubbles can have a colorful shadow?? These are the shadow, or reflection rather, of some bubbles....and Charlie's toes.



Dumbfounded...


...and mesmerized.


The spray-off...

Video of Charlie signing "cold" (arms bent and in fists, shaking like you are cold).

I did not know that Charlie has an outtie! Can just taste those berries. Weren't you worried that donkey or whatever would bite Charlie???? Just being the grandma.

Looks like you guys are having a great summer so far. I love all of the posts. I have been wanting to go to the berry farm with Lily. I wish you guys lived closer so we could go together. I tagged you on my blog!!!

Dave was doing Charlie while I picked the berries. You'll have to take up the donkey thing with him.
