sensationally silly sprinkler fun

Powerful water streams were shooting through the air, drenching the Dover soccer field on a warm early summer day.

Sprinklers here, sprinklers there, sprinklers everywhere.

Who can resist the temptation of checking it out? Not you, not your brother, and not your oldest sister (Molly was playing soccer).

It started with the sprinkler head, turning it in different directions, getting the feel of how the stream could be re-directed.  Next up:  body jumps over -and through – the stream.  Then, aiming at each other, getting fully soaked.  Then – especially you Jack – full body immersions as you soaked yourselves.  I love the “butt” photo – how funny is that?

The look of complete satisfaction in the final photo is an awesome capture of what it’s like to be a kid:  go for it, no qualms, no regrets, pure joy, total experience, in-the-moment fun.

the end of an era!

With Jack’s graduation last night, four “generations” of Clickman kids have attended pre-school at Dover’s My School.  Your family should have received a plaque or trophy (or something) to honor the achievement!  It’s amazing the walls are still standing, you guys were wild and crazy kids…  well maybe some of the time!  I learned something new… Ben designed the My School “dragonfly” logo that is still used to this day.  You should be receiving royalty payments Ben!
