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.
