We've had some hot weather the last few days. Our deck is a lovely way to be outside while being at least a
little sheltered from the sun.
And water play is always a hit in the summer.
A little tip I picked up from my days teaching preschool: grab some paintbrushes, a bucket of water, and paint the driveway, sidewalk, or (in our case) deck with water. There's no mess, the kids enjoy it, and the worst-case scenario is that everyone gets wet.

| Baby E didn't really paint much, but he LOVED stirring the paintbrush vigorously in the water. |
 |
| The deck is very wet now. |
 |
| Eventually we traded the water and the deck for sidewalk chalk on the driveway. This did not last long; it was too hot. |
 |
| This is a wet spot. Baby E dumped an entire container of water from the deck. Sarah wanted to try the chalk in there to see if the colors would be brighter. |
