Fun in the Sprinkler!!!

The kids really wanted the sprinkler out. They begged and begged. And begged. So I had Ken set it up before he went to work, and they had so much fun. The boys LOVED playing in the mud. This is really the first time that I had LET them play in it.

All Christopher kept saying "Lightning Makeen got wet!" He thoroughly enjoyed getting wet as long as the girls didn't let the water spray directly in his eyes.

The girls loved playing outside. They actually were getting along, I'm amazed. Alannah had a brilliant idea of washing their hair while playing in the sprinkler. I said what the heck, at least make it fun while doing so. So Alannah washed Lyssa's hair, and rinsed it.

The sprinkler started out over on one side of the backyard, and one of them was always moving it. They figured out how to pinch the hose, and had one go over to "fix" the sprinkler head, and the one pinching would let go! Damien loved that. They put the sprinkler on top of the castles slide to make a wet slide. They filled the blue bucket shown above up with water and splashed everyone. Then the girls had the brilliant idea of spraying the trampoline and then jumping on it. Slip and slide more like it.
But all in all they had so much fun. I sure do like it when they all get along.
