Last week, our family night was spent running through the sprinklers. The weather was hot and humid, and it was a fun alternative to swimming…I think the boys were especially excited that they didn’t have to change out of their clothes into swim suits.

The lawn thanked us too, since up until now the only grass that had been watered was the perimeter around the pool.

After jumping through a few times, Derek asked Ruth if she wanted to join them. She gave it some thought…

…but decided she would rather play the role of cheerleader.

Then they got creative and played sprinkler golf

and sprinkler baseball.

The wetter they got, the more excited Ruth became.

And just to add more water to the fun, Jake pulled out the super soaker.

Wet.

Wet.

Dry.
