Boys of summer

Jack, Preston, Brody and Landon splashin' around in our backyard this afternoon. It was a sultry 88 degrees when the two oldest ones got off the school bus, so — for the first time this year — we dug out the swim trunks, water shoes, sunscreen, goggles, some pool toys and the wacky water sprinkler for them to play in.

Then the wind picked up, a typical Midwestern storm blew in and the temperature dropped 10 degrees in 10 minutes. "Everyone out of the pool!"
