Sprinkler performances

Sprinklers are such a wonderful summertime toy!  For his birthday, Bryan’s parents got a fun water sprinkler with crazy, wiggly heads.  Andrew had such fun playing in it, and for a couple days, he amazed us with his sprinkler performances.  Some included props like Frisbees.  He wanted to be rated after his sprinkler runs, and after a while, he surpassed a 10.  Then 12.  When he got up to 15, we started writing press releases.  Granny and Grandad wrote up three news stories about Andrew’s amazing feats.  He broke the world record first with a “15” then a “16” and finally…wait for it…a “17”!

Here’s Granny writing and illustrating the first article.

Of course, Miss Sylvia was participating too.  However, she didn’t really want to get wet from the sprinkler, so she would run cautiously toward it, and then…

…wwwweeeeehaaawwww!  Come a-running right back to much applause.

More news-story writing.  The articles are all now displayed on Andrew’s bedroom door.

Thanks, Granny and Grandad for being so fun and for making Andrew and Sylvia so very happy!
