Under the Sea

After Ian's scuba diving adventure, the boys and I were out on the porch and we noticed all of Ian's scuba gear drying.  Evan was very excited about the snorkel and wanted to play with it.  However, I knew Daddy wouldn't approve of us making a toy out of his nice equipment. 

So, we improvised.  I found some plastic pipes that became our snorkels.  Then, it sort of spiraled out of control from there.  We found every blue blanket and towel that we had and created an ocean in the living room.  We pulled out every sea creature toy we could find and spent the morning swimming, getting attacked by sharks, and playing around in the "ocean".  The boys loved it!  It reminded me how fun pretending and playing can be.

It was fun, but boy was it exhausting!  This was Evan later on in the afternoon enjoying the peace and quiet of the ocean.
