Good Clean Fun

All day I told the kids we were going to either go to the pool or check out the sprinkler park. The kids voted to go to the pool. So after dinner we got swimsuits on, grabbed the swim stuff, and loaded up the car. But when we got to the pool, it was closed.
Bummer. (It's been closed for a week!)
So we decided to check out the sprinkler park instead. It's about a 10-15 minute drive. When we got there - we found another "temporarily closed" sign.
Double Bummer!

So we filled up the kiddie pool in the back yard and I gave the kids 3 cans of shaving cream. The little kids were iffy about the cream. They just washed my patio chairs for me.
But the big kids had a lot of fun with it.
They got it all over.
Next time I'll buy 10 cans of shaving cream. Gotta love the $1 store for cheap, clean fun!

    A few years ago, shaving cream was the middle school choice for celebrating "end of school" - we had to be pretty vigilant about getting everyone out on the streets and the school locked up on the last day.

    But for backyard fun, it looks like the perfect choice!!

    (and how can a pool in Texas be closed for a week??)
