Last week there was a really hot day. Unwisely, I chose this as the day to pack a picnic lunch and go to a park that we've gone to more often last year. It was unwise, since the pond that is there is filthy, and "unswimable", and there are no good ways of cooling down. We finished all our cool drinks by lunchtime, and I began to worry about heat stroke. There was water I could get from the bathrooms to drink, but that wasn't cool enough to encourage the kids to drink it.
So we packed up and went home. Our deck was being worked on (the only outdoor tap is there by the deck) so I said they could pretend the bathtub was a kiddy pool instead. They had cool water to play in, and ice cream to eat.
And they had a lot of fun to boot!

You are such a great mom!
Good idea! Looks like they had fun! although I would have been a bit nervous with those water 'guns' the kids seem to be squirting the walls with... did the get water all over the rest of the bathroom? :-P
Thanks for posting :-)
They did get the bathroom pretty wet, but did keep the spraying to the tub walls and themselves, so it wasn't too serious. :)
