Water Table

Our garden is coming along pretty well.  It seems like every week we are adding a new pot.  With each new addition, Grady becomes more and more curious about that part of our yard. The loose stones of our patio might be his favorite back yard toy.  He grabs fists full of stones and throws them up in the air.

in an effort to preserve our (Taylor's) hard work, I got Grady a water table.

He loves it.  I usually keep as little clothes as possible on him because he ends up drenched after about 2 seconds.  

This doesn't keep him completely off the patio.  He has a tendency to take that little red cup (or anything else he has handy) and "water" the plants in the pots.  He walks up and down the line, touching his cup to each pot.  Sometimes Thomas drives right through the plants.  

I have noticed one undisirable side effect from the water table. Mosquitos!  Even tho we empty it around 5pm, they still seem to be attracted.  So far I have been the only victim, but with at least five itchy red bumps on my legs!
