Who needs a water table

when you can play in a bucket of water on the deck? And who needs swim trunks either? Not us! I actually had been looking at water tables on line because we still don't have a good yard to play in and it's just so hot anyway with 100+ temps most of the time. Yesterday I decided to just fill up a big tub of water, throw in some squirty bathtub toys, and strip the boys down to their skivvies (we don't have any neighbors) to play on the deck. They LOVED it! They splashed and squirted with their toys (and got soaked too). The boys thought it was fun to make wet handprints on the concrete porch. And of course we had to take several breaks to rest and have a cold drink. What a great day.
