Connor has always loved the water. So much so, that during an evening outside a few years back he decided to jump right into the water bucket we keep outside for Buster (you know, our puppy). Cool and slime-filled (he is an English Mastiff, after all). It sounds appealing, right?
Three years later, he's still fascinated by buckets filled with water. Of course, this one is a little cleaner. It's the one we keep outside on the deck to corral all of the kiddie pool toys. If you've even been to a party at our house, it's also been (cleaned first and then) filled with ice and tasty beverages. But mostly, it's for the pool toys. And the kids love to dump all the toys into the pool and then fill it up with water. Don't ask me why, because I really have no idea. Connor's idea of fun today was to dump the toys into the pool, use one of the smaller buckets to fill it completely up with water (some is gone again by the time the photo is taken) and then hop inside.
You know, because a bucket of water is clearly much better than the much larger kiddie pool that is filled with water (and toys) right beside of it.
