When I was a little girl, I was a big fan of Disney’s Silly Symphony – a collection of animated shorts set to the tune of a musical score. My favorite was titled “Water Babies” about a Utopian world of little babies. It’s a rather simple story, but I just loved the idea of living in a world where one could have fun all day long and return to a peaceful, watery home at night. It’s been many years since I watched it, but hanging with all the kids at Alizeh’s Birthday Luau brought back fond memories of my childhood and that video in particular. Kids and water are much like peas and carrots – they go perfectly together! It doesn’t matter if they’re floating, jumping, sliding , dunking or spraying, it’s bound to be a whole lot of fun! Even though I didn’t come dressed to join in the action, I was completely soaked after it was all said and done (did I mention that they enjoy splashing too!). But it was completely worth it because I had a blast capturing it all on camera. Just take a look….
Tiera - The photos are amazing! If I were a kid, I would’ve had a blast. Heck, I’d have a blast if we did this tomorrow!
Amy - Now that, my friend, is summer! Actually, I wish I had one of those slip n’ slide things in my backyard–looks like some good times!
Cafe Fashionista - Ah Maddy, these photographs are amazing! I cannot get over how vibrant the colors are! And the dunk tank…I haven’t seen one in forever – love! :)
Noe @ ADELLA AVENUE - So so great! The expressions on the kids faces… especially the little girl in the pink bikini… are priceless. Pure kid summertime fun!
elly - Look at those grins! :)
Life with Kaishon - I looooooooooooove happy and splashing children : )
I think we might go to the pool today.

savvy gal - everyone is having such fun splashing about. i love love love the 3rd photo of the little girl; her eyes are just beautiful.
Christina Lee - AHHHH these are so great—so.very.summer!!!!!!!!
Rachel @ The Redhead Fashionista - Okay, let me just say… I’m dying to jump in the pool now! Lol.
It looks like everyone had so much fun! What a perfect way to spend the summer day! Plus, all of the colors in the photos look fantastic. You really do take the best photos!
Hope you have a fantastic weekend, Maddy! :)
Camila Faria - Oh, I miss having fun in the water like that! Adorable images Maddy!
Leia - I hope your camera didn’t get wet! These shots are amazing – I especially love the last one. All the pictures remind me of how much I enjoyed splashing about in the water when I was a child! I’m seriously considering scraping together my savings to fly you out to India to photograph my wedding :)
Punctuation Mark - very cute post… i love that little girl with the pink suit… she’s adorable!
Kristin - I just love watching little ones splash around in the water! The dude can’t get enough of it!
Stephanie Faris - I remember those days! Of course, my stepdaughter is our only child when she visits, so she wants us to get in the water and play WITH her. I guess in that sense we are able to relive our childhoods, but I’m 40 and not quite as energetic as a child!
camille - those pics are so amazing! kids manage to have so much fun in the water and their energy never end!
Buckeroomama - Oh, utter joy!! And ooooh, a dunk tank, too! =)
Sarah - Ahhh brings up very fond memories :-)
Sabine - Great pictures! So much fun. So true, kids and water go together like strawberries and cream.
The Guilty Hyena - this garden is a water adventure for any children! I use to love this sort of thing especially when the weather was nice.
Nadette - Your family really knows how to celebrate birthdays! And the babies are too cute, I’m sure that was a fun day. Would it be presumptious to ask your famliy to plan my 30th bday celebration? I mean, its a few years off (fewer than I would like, but that’s life), so they would have time to plan it. Just a suggestion, lol
