Summer Shenanigans

A friend recently gave the hooligans this pretty awesome sprinkler. It's like a caterpillar and it's arms/legs spray water in all kinds of directions. We took it out for a test run the other day. I think it was a success.

At first there was some confusion. Mostly from Merrick. He was overheard saying, "but it's getting me wet!" when I told him to try running through it. I pointed out that that is, in fact, the point of a sprinkler. And that seemed to make it ok.

Now that we realize the sprinkler isn't broken and is doing its job, oh conscientious child of mine, we had a great time. ;) Tirzah loved it to, and in typical Tirzah fashion didn't really seem concerned about the obligations of sprinklers...she just made sure everyone got soaked with her.

This adds a nice break to my routine of blowing up the porch pool, too! Keeps them distracted (and not whining about how hot they are) long enough for me to reinflate. ;)
