sprinkling system

When I think of summer, I think of sprinklers.  I have a lot of good memories that involve sprinklers. When I was little kid my friends and I made up creative games to avoid the water, or be the quickest to get through it, or stand in the stream of water the longest. I used to think it was magic water sprouting from the ground. As I grew older and hung out with the neighborhood gang, I always had an encounter with the sprinklers late at night as I tried to run home. I knew the exact timing and route I had to take from our back gate to the door as to avoid getting wet.
This summer however, the term "sprinkler" has taken on a new meaning...

As you can see, I've learned that sprinklers are not magic, but instead a lot of hard work.

 So in celebration of sprinklers everywhere, I hope you all find a sprinkler to run through on this hot July weekend!

we like fireworks during the day too!

looks like old faithful is still pretty faithful, even if she is smaller than we remembered...

road trip

Husband and I just got a new car...so we decided to take a road trip, and cruised up to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole.  It was a quick trip that consisted almost entirely of driving, but it was way fun! As for our new car...it is a Kia Soul-also known as the Hamster car.  Jake talked me into getting one because it is bigger than a car but still gets awesome gas mileage. I love it!
