We all have memories of things we did as kids to cool off.
When Grandma J was a kid we had a little pond that all the neighborhood kids would splash around in. This was without parental supervision. Some of us couldn't swim! We all survived.
There wasn't such a thing as bottled water. When frolicking in the summer sun got us all hot and thirsty, it was the rubber garden hose that quenched our thirst.
One thing Grandma J did was still popular when her own kids were young.
Like playing in the sprinklers with the little boy next store.
This activity isn't recommended for adults. Grandma J knows what she's talking about....she told you all about Rita's incident three years ago. It's a perfect example of why sprinklers aren't for sissy adults.

Don't play in sprinklers, especially naked. Noted! But why'd you have to call me a sissy?

Oh my gosh...that RITA story is hilarious. Such a hoot...the apples don't fall that far from the tree.
I loved playing in the sprinkler too as well as my girls...but we almost always had clothes on.
adorable photo!
I really think you should play in the sprinklers with your neighbors! They would LOVE it!
Yup, you need more than sunblock
Too funny! I still like playing in the sprinkler!

Oh, I love that picture! I ran through the sprinklers too. Loved it! Reminds me of summer! I do have a hazy memory of me falling on a sprinkler head while doing this as a kid.
I'm with NNG. I still like to play in the sprinkler:)
At least your mom taught you to keep your pants on.
Such a cute picture! Eating a Popsicle was good to help cool off too. :)
Oh the memories!!!!!
Oh my...I remember the Rita story....and I think of it whenver I go out back to feed the fish without clothing...ya...and no helmets on when we rode bikes...no car seats and metal slides...those were the days :)
