Backyard Streaker

Today we went to a local water park and had a great time. I thought that I had done a fairly good job of wearing her out. We played at the water park for about 4 hours. We even tried a big kid water slide - we weren't sure if the girls would like it or not (we were there with Miss Andi and Sophia) so we went in this order: Miss Andi, Sophie, Bree and me. I thought for sure that I'd hear Bree screaming all the way down - but Andi said that both girls came shotting out of the water slide with huge grins on their faces.

Of course they wanted to do it over and over and over again. Andi & I were the one who had to haul two innertubes up the stairs - the girls' and ours. I'm going to be sore tomorrow! But it was worth it - the girls had a blast. I'm still surprised that Bree loved it so much - that slide was fast.

Anyway, we got home and Bree wanted to play outside. I hear "Look at me, Mommy!" and when I look outside, I see my girl running around naked!

I couldn't figure out why she had shucked her clothes off to run around naked, but there is a history of this happening in the family. *coughherdaddycough*

As it turns out, Bree got herself wet in the process of, uh, well, I'm not sure what she was pretending to do, but she was mopping the deck with her bearies.

I was surprised that Bree got her bearies wet, because I've been trying to get them into their "special bath" for a few days now. (They smelled pretty bad.) So once Bree got them all wet, it was pretty much a done deal that they were going to go into the wash today. I considered this a win for my side, actually. I would have preferred for her to keep her clothes on, but I guess sometimes a girl's gotta be free.

Luckily, it's a beautiful day here so it was as good a day as any to be running around the backyard naked. Although I did talk her into putting her underwear on at least.

Bree came back up for some more water. Since the damage had already been done, I gave her some more so she could play some more outside.

Well, I got her inside the house, but I still haven't been able to put any clothes on her. At this point, it's almost worth just keeping her in her undies until it's time to go to bed. One less outfit to wash! :)
