A Swimming Pool on Wheels

Jeremy had the bright idea of putting a tarp inside this old truck and filling it with water and then driving around and letting the water splash the kids. So we had some of the neighborhood kids come over and take turns riding in the back of the truck. The kids had a lot of fun, and so did Jeremy. He drove around like a maniac trying to make sure he got the kids as wet as possible. After a few trips around the block they would have to come back and fill it back up. Our neighbor across the street has hot water plumbed to their hose, so we were able to fill up with that so it wasn't so cold for the kids. The kids are excited to do it again before the summer is over. Mikkele, Alanna, and Shelby getting ready to take off for the first ride.

When we were filling the water back up I put Grant's feet in to see what he thought. He loves the water, so I stripped his shorts off and put him in with the kids.

Mikkele and Grant chilling out.

Taking off with a big splash for round two. Mikkele, Shelby, Luke, and Carter.

The last trip around the block. You can see Carter's head trying to stay above the water. And if you look close, Mikkele's hand and head are peaking through the big splash. What a fun day.

Oh my gosh! That is so funny! My kids want to do that now. Dad's come up with the craziest ideas! Love it! By the way, Hailee wants her hair just like Mikkele's now. It is so cute!
