Well, it hasn’t rained so I pulled out the sprinkler and hose. The kids decided that it was time enough to play in the sprinkler instead. So they enjoyed some fun in the water. They got super soaked but didn’t care.

This Summer is going to be a fun one. I am looking forward tho when we can use the squirt guns and all the water balloons together. That will be fun.
