A Wet Weekend

Saturday afternoon the kids and I went to play outside while John went to get his truck inspected. As I was sitting there, I was thinking about how hot it's already getting and fearing for a long hot summer. I then suddenly decided to drag out our sprinkler that Grammie got us last year, and the kids swimsuits. These are last years swimsuits and while the bottoms fit just fine, the tops had started to get a little snug, especially on Abby. Nevertheless, they served their purpose just fine.
Once I hooked everything up and turned the water on, the kids squealed with excitement and started running and playing in the water.

After about 30 minutes though, the kids started to get cold (especially when the shade of the fence fell over our sprinkler as the sun set). So I suggested they run around with their mowers to warm up a bit. They quickly ran to get their mowers, but...

...they ran straight into the sprinklers with their mowers! Totally defeating the purpose! They were both little ice cubes by the end of our time and would stand there shaking, but would not get out of the water. I finally turned the water off and brought them inside to warm up.
