-Put out that water table that has been sitting in your shed since last year
-Sprinklers:  They aren't just for the grass!
-Buy a Slip-N-Slide (or make one!)
-Let the kids squirt each other with spray bottles filled with water
-Find a nearby sprayground
-Fill up the baby pool and let them splash around or play with old dolls and cars/boats
-Put water in buckets and let them "wash the car"
-Fill up some plastic cups with water and let them have a water fight
