Emma still naps twice a day, though I do push her through her morning nap time a few days each week. Generally, though, I like for Emma to stay on schedule...which means we are home a lot. So, this past weekend, I made a list of summer projects and activities to help us "beat the heat" here at home. :)
This morning, Isaac and I tackled our first project--a foil river. It was pretty windy, so our foil blew away a few times and then became really wrinkled. Running the hose at the top of the foil as you shape your river helps a lot (tip found here).
We tried sending a lot of a lot of bath toys and a boat down our foil river. Eventually, we discovered that bottle caps work the best. :)

This lion is one of Isaac's favorite toys right now. He liked pretending that the lion was stomping through the river in the jungle. :)
After lunch, we rebuilt the river on our driveway, where there is more of a slope than our backyard. And, Isaac put his swim trunks on. :)

After we cleaned everything up, Isaac loved playing with the hose!
We are so excited for a summer full of fun and play!
