Ghetto Sprinkler

Yes, we do live in the "ghetto", the "white coat ghetto" behind the hospital where tons of other residents/med students/and poor new attendings-who are just itching to move to the suburbs-(Anatole and Jessica! Ha!) live. We had our first real warm day of the summer last week - it reached 88 degrees. Whew... Anatole and Jessica's house has very little yard space, but we decided to have our weekly (sometime bi- or even tri-weekly) BBQ. We then turned the sprinkler on the black top of the driveway and let the kids go at it! Yes, it's ghetto - but so be it! It cooled the whole back yard off! and the kids were delighted. Just to add to the effect, we let them run around in skivies/pull-ups - who needs swimsuits.

Here's Bennie: "don't move a muscle, or I'll spray you..."
Anatole, grilling up some brats.
Espen and I.
Espen liked to drive the car through the water.
Sofia "the horse" galloped through the water.
The boys, enjoying the cool water.
so, SO ghetto.
Trying to convince Espen that it's not so bad.
