Even though my kids are now older we would still be using them on days like today if we could - it is the best way to keep cool. Having a bit of a slope to our garden meant we could use it as a water slide too. Good fun even for us big kids!

We'd hang them upside down in the frangipani tree (North Qld) and run around like loonies underneath. Remember the rotating ones?

It's almost as good as petrichor, the smell of the earth after rain. It’s the smell I remember, the wonderful smell of hot wet concrete and soggy undies.

When it is summertime here though I still like running through the sprinkler and my kids enjoy it as well.

Of course it's all different now (as is everything LOL), and even our kids in Victoria in the current heatwave will not be able to experience such a simple and joyous experience.

We haven't been allowed to use them for about the last 3 years. But yes, running through the sprinkler was great when we were kids - till we got a pool. Whats this sprinkler thing?

It's too bad that today and tomorrow's children won't know the simple joy of sprinklers. I grew up in the northeast of the USA, and we used to have lots of fun running through sprinklers!
