Sprinkler Fun

It's been pretty hot this week, so when we were outside checking the garden after dinner, the boys thought it would be fun to play in the sprinkler that was watering the yard.  We pulled it up into an area where they wouldn't run into a tree, and let them have fun!


They took a brief break from playing ball in the sprinkler (thanks Gaga for the ball and catching thing) to check out the worms that Scott was pulling off the kale plants.  We thought we had gotten rid of all the caterpillars but I guess there were some in the dirt that have hatched.  GRRR.


Aww, sweet Liam!


He is far more daring that Karsten was - he thought it would be a good idea to run along the rocks.  Wet feet and slippery rocks sound like a bad combination to me.




The boys tried to catch the sprinkler, so Scott thought it would be funny to fold the hose and let them try to check out the sprinker when the water stopped.


Then he let go of the hose and they shrieked as they ran away getting soaked.  They quickly headed back for more...


It was fun over and over again...










Then Karsten wanted to try stopping the water and spraying Liam.  This was Liam saying 'YAYA, water NOW!'


With a little help from Scott, Liam got his turn as well.


I thought I could get a few pictures of the boys dripping wet before we headed inside, but Liam had other ideas.  He has the funniest expressions and knows how to work those eyes for maximum impact.


I totally lucked into this picture - we were playing a game where he tried to get as close to my camera as he could.  I happened to snap at the right moment as he backed away.  YAY!
