Water Sports


My children are Austinites, born and raised, so they are no strangers to stifling, miserable, breathtaking heat and humidity. It's a fact that you can't spend more than 30 seconds outside (the time it takes to get into your car and the AC cranked), before you have gone from dewy, to drippy, from head to toe. The only way to avoid this sticky salty fate is to either a) drink cold margaritas, and/or b)stand under a spray of cold water. Still too young for this TexMex fav, we stick to sprinkles.


Zach has never been too impressed with sprinkles. Mostly, he just likes to experiment with the spinning parts on the sprinkler head. But since Viv joined the fun, he has a renewed interest in these light water sports. So, his favorite outdoor activity is to follow Viv around with the sprinkler head dangling over her head, or perhaps just take the nozzle off and insert the gushing hose down the back of her swimsuit. Viv is a terribly good sport about all this, but she too has limits.
