little pool day

Monday we spent pretty much the entire day outside in the yard!

I went out around eight to fill up our little two ring pool.

The kids were ready to play in it so I let them go get their suits on.

They spent the morning splashing, spraying, jumping and sliding into this little pool.

At one point I set up the slip n slide but the pool still won their vote.

Took a little lunch break and then they were right back to playing.

After a bit we went in for a little down time and break from the sun.

For our fun in the sun activity I blended up some 

slurpees for an afternoon refreshment.

It is pretty simple recipe.

I didn't have club soda though so used Sierra Mist.

Ty and Mia loved it Jordan was not a fan.

We will try another flavor soon with club soda.

All you need is:

1 packet of Kool-Aid

2 cups of club soda

1/2 cup sugar

2 1/2 cups crushed ice

and, of course, a blender

Step 1 ~ Blend Kool-Aid, sugar, and 1 cup of the club soda on high until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2 ~ Add the ice and blend until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3 ~ Add remaining cup of club soda and blend away.

Step 4 ~ Pour mixture into glasses and put in freezer for 30 minutes. Wait and relax!

Enjoy outside in the sun!

Later that night Jordan had a baseball game at bender.

We were able to sit in the shade which felt nice!
