Clowning Around!

Since we couldn't convince Granny to stay longer, we loaded up the Suburban and headed south to take her home. After a few hours in the car, the kids were ready for some fresh air and to burn off some energy!
It was SWELTERING HOT out so we were desperate for something to cool us down! I remember spending hours in Granny's backyard as a child running through the sprinklers...but not just any old sprinklers! A clown head attached to the end of the hose and when water shot out...it lifted the clown's hat and sprayed water everywhere! It was sooooo much fun!

Much to my surprise, guess what I found in the attic??
Lexie was a bit hesitant at first, so Russ decided he would speed up the process...pretty good action shot!
She wasn't too traumatized...they are going back for more!
"Wow--look Daddy!"
Lexie wants to show Granny "something"...
This poor thing has seen better days, but it still works!

She backs up for a running start!

Lexie says "Okay momma--It's your turn"...
She paused for a moment for a picture with Grandpa
Taking a little breather in the shade with daddy!
What fun was had...especially after being in a car all morning!
