This afternoon, once the kids finished up their quiet time, we went out back, set up the sprinkler and played in the water. We let the sprinkler water hit the slide because the kids love the speed they get from it. They were having so much fun that Scott and I thought we'd give it a try... and I can now confirm from experience that, indeed, you do go REALLY fast! The first time I went down I ended up on my knees. It was definitely fun though, and we went several times.
Once we were done with the slide, Scott and the kids positioned a few chairs so that they would be in the path of the sprinkler. Scott and Elisabeth enjoyed this but Charles did not. After probably half a minute he ditched his chair and went to Daddy for comfort.
And Annabelle's thoughts on our sprinkler fun....
I think we will have her watch from the sidelines next time. (I promise I didn't prolong her torture by taking pictures...I was trying to make her smile and got a couple straight faced sort of serious looking shots and then the next one, and last one, was this photo so we stopped and she was happy again once she was in my arms and away from the water)
