Snail Boat

Kalynn loves when it rains here because all of these amazing little snails with their colorful nautilus shells come out. Most days I literally can't walk 3 feet without counting at least 20 after a good rain. So this morning it rain pretty much up until noon. When I picked KO up from school, as usual she wanted to carry a snail home, although this time she said she needed two. She put them in the yard before nap. Usually they are no where to be found when she wakes up but this time one had made it halfway across our patio by the time she got up. She picked him up and played with him (however you play with a snail... who knows, lol). The sun was shining bright, it was hot so I filled her water table with water so that she could have some cool fun. She took her snail with her to the water table. I hosed down the walkway (the rain/wind had left cherries, leaves, and bird poop). When I finished I noticed her playing with a little sailboat in her water table. I went over to play with her when I noticed that the sailboat had a tiny passenger. You guessed it... she put her snail in the boat so that he could sail around. She said it was like the "It's a Small World" ride at Disney Land (her favorite ride). So cute.
