Summer

I got nothing.
Maybe the heat is frying my brain.
Here's a couple pictures of what we did today.
Kids.
No worries. No responsibility.
Life is just one big splash pad.
How to Celebrate Your 44th Birthday
Here's a few tips on how to successfully celebrate your birthday when you get to be old like me.
Start celebrating the day before your birthday.
Spend the night in a hotel with your sweetie. No kids, no phones, no cooking dinner, no kids, no laundry, no housework, no kids.

Our neighborhood splash pad is one of my favorite places in the city. I love these pictures. They reek of summertime and all good things.
ReplyDeleteThat flashed me back to my childhood! My kids prefer a dip in the river, but I was raised on sprinklers and splash pads. Give me a kiddie pool and mister, and I'm a happy camper!
ReplyDeleteI like the music for the teleBision commercial for our local water park, very catchy.
ReplyDeleteI want that kind of day! With freeze pops, please.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures and can totally identify with the fried brain syndrome. I have so much catching up to do--reading and writing-wise, but it's so tempting to just sit like a slug in front of the fan or run off to spend the day at the lake. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think my brain must be getting water logged. I am beginning to think I should move to the other side of the pond!!
