Summer = Sprinklers

The weather here is finally back to where it should be. Clear, sunny skies and temps reaching the mid 80’s.

But as we all know, the lack of rain makes for dry yards. So, while the neighbors pull out their sprinklers I decided to kill two birds with one stone.

We made a quick trip to Target yesterday and picked up this…

A blow up beach ball that works as a sprinkler.

I figured Gavin would like the toy…but I had no idea how much he would love it!

He spent over an hour running through the streams of water…giggling & shrieking the entire time

Occasionally he’d run straight into the stream of water, unprepared for the result

But, the gulps of cold water didn’t stop this little guy.

And finally…just when I started to think that he’d be in the water for the remainder of the day…he decided that he’d had enough and sat on the front steps next to his momma watching his new toy from afar…

The best part of the toy? Once you detach it from the hose it becomes a regular ole beach ball…perfect for kicking around the front yard with your daddy while enjoying the last few hours of sunshine
