The Sprinkler Stands the Test of Time

There is something about a sprinkler in the Texas summer that is irresistible....especially to fully clothed children, lol.  Grandpa was visiting Saturday night since Grandma is out of town.  We put the sprinkler out in an effort to keep the grass green, and their little sprinkler radars went off.  You can tell by the pics the older two had a blast, especially Alex's back side.  He's a 3 year old boy, what do you expect?  Eventually Dad moved it up against the house to water some other grass, so they lost interest and got in some Big Wheels time.  The neighbors behind us came over for an evening visit, and you should be able to tell which photo is of the kids watching as they drove off in their golf cart.  Sometimes I wonder if I have exposed them to enough civilization, because this dead stop stare seems to be their reaction every time someone passes our house or leaves the driveway, lol.  Then as usual, I made them all pose for a sweet picture, which usually never happens.  But what kind of mother would I be if I didn't torture them at every possible chance to say "cheese"...all together....at the same time :)  I'll post my efforts, you can pick your favorite.
Fast forward to this morning, JR went out to plant a rose bush Grandpa brought us, and his little
helper got the shovel and quickly followed.  Who knew you needed rain boots and a long sleeved Superman t-shirt in the dead of summer to get some shoveling done :)
