Adlai must do everything Kaya does. She was indulging in 10 minutes of t.v. and Adlai wanted to drink milk and sit with her. He was more interested in hamming it up for the camera than paying attention to the screen but did manage to sit still for approximately 2 minutes. Kaya did not break her gaze and remained intent on treehouse.
Kaya tried mainly to drink the water. She squealed right along with Adlai and showed him the basics of sprinkler play. The kids cavorted until they had goose bumps and their teeth were chattering.
Adlai could not get enough of the sprinkler. The water was freezing despite the warm weather. But he loved seeing the effect that his hand had on the arc of water and thought it was hilarious to step through and run circuts around the yard.
More than once he gasped at the cold and received a mouthful of water. That did not, however, prevent him from doing it all over again.
It was a rare 30 degree day and the kids attacked the pool. Adlai a bit more so than Kaya. Note the tongue sticking out and legs flying sideways. He was not terribly perturbed by face fulls of water upon landing and would bounce off the edge of the pool on exits.
I got out for a short walk after sunset. The canola fields were right next to a beautiful blue flax field but the flax flowers are so fleeting that they were gone by the evening. A deer jumped through the yellow canola (if you look closely you can see it bounding away in the bottom shot).
We braved the poop (Kaya's gumboots protected her feet but not Mommy and Grandma who got the brunt of it when we hoisted her and Adlai over the fences) to go see the bottle-fed lambs in the barn.
Adlai did not miss a beat and was happy to have the lambs lick his tiny fingers.
