It was hot.
It was hot and we needed something to do.
Sprinklers in the backyard were the perfect solution.

Though he wasn't so sure...
But then he saw his sister going down the slide
He can't resist the slide
He watched his sister get a few drinks

and then he was ready
and this was the result
and some love from grandma to make the day extra special
Hope you all have a great weekend!!

    Wow! Those are some awesome pictures! I just love them! What a great story in photos!! I can't believe (well, knowing what I know about her I can) that Alex just sticks her face in the sprinklers like that! My kids are little chickens! :)

    Well he sure loved the sprinkler more than the beach! And I guess me and Rich are both poops because we wouldn't get out there and play. Haha. I think my faces are: Alex with her face in the water and your mom holding Ryder. So sweet. Give him a squeeze for me. :)

    So sweet! Sprinklers immediately remind me of my childhood summers, and I have a very difficult time convincing my boys that they can be a blast. I might have to show them your photos. Love the way your daughter relishes in every drop. So fun.

    Have a great weekend!

    I wish you were in Austin so I could hire you to do our family pictures. We need to get some done and I can't decide who to do them with.

    I love that last picture of Ryder and your mother, I'm pretty sure she treasured every single moment of being there with her grandchildren... it looks like that from her face :)

    And 'hi', sorry I haven't been around, it's been a crazy week.

    How fun! Isn't it funny how the younger ones want to do whatever their siblings are doing? Daisy never wants to be left behind!
