Our Favorite Summer Water Activities

Our kids love to have water fun in the backyard during the summer. From a young age, they were always playing in their water table either giving their toys a bath or creating some under sea adventure. Our backyard has seen everything from sprinkler time to duck races to creating the ultimate water slide.

It seems like the older they get the more imaginative their water play becomes. Last summer they invented Fence Water Blaster Drawing. They took water blasters and created pictures with water on our backyard fence. It was so simple, but it kept them entertained.
