Sprinkler fun...

So I asked Jay to make sure that the back yard got watered -- the pots were looking wilted. After dinner, he headed out with his two helpers. I was enjoying the peace and quiet of the house to myself, but my spidey sense started tingling. It had been too quiet, too long. Sure enough, when I look out the back door, I see all three of them gooning around in the water. Not only were they running through the sprinkler, they were going down the slide -- which was soaking wet. Griffith is a cautious slider at the best of times -- he keeps his feet down and holds on to the sides to ensure a measured descent. That doesn't work so well with streams of water. Poor kid set a new landspeed record descending -- and a new record for long jump too. He ended up about 4 feet from the end of the slide. He was a big boy about it, though. He didn't cry at all. Just shook off the mulch as best he could (wet mulch is quite sticky), yelled "yucky!" and headed back for another round.
