City sprinkler



When the temps soar in the city, fire hydrants all around are opened up and kids take their chances in the street. On our old block I was never comfortable letting the kids try this makeshift citified sprinkler. Our new block however is much less a throughway and the kids are older so we decided to let them play. They loved it! Super cold water blasting (but cleverly tempered by a tire and a board) and very refreshing.

With all the overflow water worms where coming up onto the sidewalk. Jack and Violet went right up to them and picked them up - eww! I try not to put my freak out factor on them and was proud of the two of them. Maybe it's time for a fishing trip?
