....Can you even believe it has rained TWO days in a row here? Yesterday it rained for a little over an hour...today 30 minutes or so! It doesn't sound like alot, but when you are desperate for rain, it's a wonderful thing!
It has been so dry in the past weeks and months that we have been forced to irrigate some Bermuda grass we just sprigged this season. When my husband pulled in the irrigation reels to some land he sprigged thats across the road from my dad's, he drew quite a bit of attention. Those systems aren't something seen often in that community, so everyone was wondering what was going on!
My nephew was spending the weekend with his Gran & Papa, and there is no better waterpark to a 5 year old than an irrigation system spewing pond water! ...After his worries about the fish were laid to rest anyway! (..there is a screen to keep fish in the pond from shooting out of the thing!)
There was a leak spraying from one of the pipes which we all thought was just the perfect opportunity for Max & Carter to get to play in the water without standing under the "big" spray. So, as you can see from the photos, they had a wonderful time playing!......
That is until my husband came storming up telling us how dangerous that was and that if the hose blew apart the force of it would probably kill every one of us......
Oh..... Well, when you put it that way, maybe it wasn't such a great idea after all! You know, risking our own lives and the lives of our children and all.......

Dangerous...Hmmm....No... I would have been out there too! lol Cute pics. I'm just stopping by again. I enjoy reading your blogs! Oh..and we are in need of the rain too, so I understand how important two days of rain is right now! Take care and stop by my blog when you can!
okay, well silly me thought it looked like fun too and didn't give the pipes "blowing" a second thought!
Leave it to the dads to always be the voice of reason...looks like a blast to me! (was that a pun?) :))

If it makes you feel any better, I have played on a many irrigation pipes! My favorite part used to be to try and stand on the black roll up part and try to ride it to the reel!
That is just too funny. It sure looks like that the kiddos had a lot of fun. Too bad that it might be dangerous. Hope your hubby is no longer upset about it.
Blessings on your day and always.
