Today felt like our first day of summer. The sky threatened storms on and off all day, the outside temp. actually hit 93 and the air was HUMID. Normally I'd complain about the heat and humidity, but after the recent weather we've been having, today was our first real glimpse that summer may actually be happening this year afterall.
We decided to brave the heat and blow up our new easel (Kai's birthday present from Nanny). Once housed in a smallish box, I had no idea just how big this easel would become. We put it in the middle of our driveway and the thing nearly hid our mini-van which was parked just behind.
Once the paint was poured and the sidewalk chalk was within reach, the kids just went at it. They finger painted, colored, and made a beautiful mess. Their favorite part, however, was spraying their masterpiece with the hose to clean up and get the easel ready for another day of play. Thank you Nanny for such a creative gift.
