Summer Vacay - Day 33: Sprinklers

One thing we don't have at our house is a sprinkler. Our garden hose has been squished on the end so nothing can be hooked up to it. When we play outside with water the kids all know how to cover the long skinny end with their thumb to make a stronger farther spray so it never seemed necessary. While we were at my moms visiting they opened up the hot tub cover, turned on the sprinkler and filled the dogs kiddie pool with water and let the kids go wild. It was crazy watching them jump out of the hot tub, run through the cold sprinkler or dunk themselves in the little pool until they were chilly and then diving back into the hot tub to warm up. They were out there all afternoon playing in the water and it got me thinking, maybe we need to invest in a sprinkler.
