washing the car with daddy

Yesterday afternoon when Ben arrived home from work, he finally decided that his car needed washing. Since our previous home didn't have a garage or driveway, we didn't have any car washing supplies so we went to Target to stock up. When we got back, we thought it would be fun if Evan helped out with the washing so I changed him into his swimming trunks and slathered him up with sunscreen!

It was so much fun!

I brought out the camera for the special event and boy oh boy did I have a grand ole time! Because it was a tad bit hot outside, I spent most of my time in the shade but I did venture out a bit into the blistering hot sun to get some shots. It's amazing how much cooler it is in the shade...just steps from the sunny area!

Evan really enjoyed playing with the hose and squirting the lawn. Ben changed the nozzle on it so that it would only mist because we were afraid he'd get crazy and squirt me while holding the camera. Although I did get tagged a couple of times! haha!







The suds were a hit too! It was so cute to watch him 'wash' himself and grab a bunch of bubbles and then wiggle his hands back and forth so they would fly everywhere!







It was really fun to watch him help with the washing. Smearing suds on the car was exciting and fun for him!







Since it was so hot, it was nice to get sprayed a bit by the hose! Every time we'd squirt him, he'd squeal and take off running! It was such a wonderful sound!




Well it seems as though little man doesn't want me on the computer anymore...he keeps grabbing my hand and hugging it tight! So I'll go for now! Hope you have a fun summer day making special memories with your family!
