Theme: Drink | Become a Photo Hunter | View Blogroll
This is Jesse, about 11 years ago, getting a drink….
…but not out of a conventional lawn sprinkler. Jim put together some PVC piping and punched holes in it to make a sprinkler for the trampoline:
Looks like Jason is getting a drink there, too. The main idea wasn’t to have a ready water fountain at the trampoline, though that was nice, but to make it fun and cool for hot summer days in the south. Combined jumping on the trampoline with running through the sprinkler.
You’d think the water would have made the trampoline really slick and slippery, but it didn’t — it actually kind of slowed the bounciness. The kids loved it.
Stray Thoughts 
What a great idea! Jumping in the sprinklers and with a water fountain right there to boot! Makes me wish I was a kid and could go over to play at your house! I tried it now, I’m sure I’d break my neck!
That is awesome! How much fun would that have been for the kids? Great photos. Definitely original. And yes, my second photo was a baby bottle. Times change 🙂
Wow, that is a very cool and wet idea, lol. Jim did a great job with that and how creative. Have a great weekend.
I’m sure they did enjoy it. By the looks of the photo, they did not only enjoy it but loved it.
Mine is up too.
What an incredibly clever invention! I like the first picture best, I think. Classic.
That sure looks like fun! My grandkids would love doing that!
Thanks for stopping by.
What a *cool* idea 🙂
that looks so fun! i know our trampoline gets SO hot in the summer!! =)
That looks like a ton of fun! I’d be drinking out of them too!
Great photos — what an ingenious way to keep cool and get a DRINK!
I have some photo’s up too.
What cute photos. This brought a smile.
Wasn’t that CLEVER??? Wow! And what FUN!!! Seems like one of the toy company’s would have BOUGHT that idea!!!
How fun! What a perfect way to get a cool drink in the summer!
What a cool idea (pun indented 🙂 ) That would be something we could use here in the hot summer. What a perfect idea for this week’s hunt theme.
Have a blessed weekend.
What a creative thing to do for the kids! I would’ve been right there with them. Terrific!
Fortunately it was only water and not a red juice !
A little unorthodox way of drinking but probably lots of fun.
Amazing! That looks really fun! I’ve never been on a trampoline before. I’m sure my son (and I) would love it. 🙂
Great photos!
Have a lovely weekend and thanks for dropping by.
That looks such good fun! My two would have loved it at that age.
Thanks for visiting 🙂
What a great idea… I can see why the boys liked that. That was a really good choice for the “drink” theme.
I invite you all to come see my Photo Hunter post.
Why is it when you’re a kid, water always tastes better coming out of a hose!
Great photo!!
What fun, and great pics!
happy hunt and happy saturday 🙂
WOW – now that looks like loads of fun!!!
Anyone going on a trampoline in the south in summer would love one of these. Is this an invention that might have a big future? Hmmmmm. Great picture for the hunt.
Great idea and cute pictures. I’m with SRP great idea for summer fun.
So cute! What a great idea for a sprinkler. 🙂
I love that “water fountain”. What a neat idea to keep them cool and jumping!
Thanks for visiting!
love it!!
Love your photos… this is my first week – I’m doing the rounds…
OK, I loved the first picture. It was so clever and nothing I thought of. But now that I read the entire post and saw the last picture, how very clever. Glad to hear it did not make the trampoline slippery. Great hunt pictures.
Those are great. So fun!
what a cool idea! Great one for this theme!
Now that looks like great fun on a hot day.
Thanks for sharing and visiting.
Hope you guys have a great weekend.
