Season for Outdoor Water Play

Zilla is 5 years old
Mega is 2 years old
Lesson: Kids are irresistibly drawn to water
 
It does not matter how early in the morning it is, how hungry the mosquitos are or how hot/humid it is outside... when there is water within reach kids want to play.
We picked up a multifaceted water and sand toy which adds some interesting aspects to the usual water experimentation. Mega is enjoying transferring water with various items (shovel, cup bucket) and Zilla is learning about water pressure, hoses and sprinklers. They are working on teamwork... sort of.
Even with new and I the resting toys, they spent the most time blowing leaves across the top of the water in a "boat race"!
