Running under the sprinkler is a disappearing childhood moment in this part of the country. I don’t know of many areas where you are still allowed to run a garden sprinkler at any time, let alone mid afternoon?
We don’t have a town water supply. We rely on rain water collection and a bore with a windmill, so we are not governed by local water restrictions. Since it rained just a little here (and I mean a lot) around new years and our four huge tanks are full and there is plenty of water in the bore we’ve splashed out a little of late… literally, and oh what fun!
Would anyone like to come and run under our sprinkler?

We would LOVE to! Maybe if Dave gets his lisence soon!
Looks like awesome fun. I have fond memories of doing the same when I was wittle.
My kids would love that. Muski looks like he is having a great time!
Luckily, like you, we can still do this – no shortage of water in North Australia at this time of year!
That looks like so much fun. I have such fabulous childhood memories of playing under sprinklers.
Oh I loved the sprinker when i was little.. and the black plastic waterslide ;).. we’re on tank water too, so on the odd occasion (think a few years back!!) we’ve been able to ‘splash’ out too :)
Isn’t it strange how something we use to do as kids feels almost foreign and unnatural to our children. I dragged the spinkler out the other day and turned it on and my kids just stood there watching.
