Cheap Summer Fun -- The Old Fashioned Way

Dear Folks,

I remember running through the sprinklers when I was a kid, cooling off and working off the excess energy on a hot summer day.  (And I have also enjoyed a run as an adult, when passing commercial properties watering at night with the big industrial sprinklers -- we got good and soaked and it felt wonderful.  We were very careful not to damage or step on any equipment in doing so.)

Grab a glass of homemade lemonade or sun tea, kick back and watch this charming video of babies playing in the sprinkler under mom's watchful eye.

What inexpensive ways did you find to have fun in the summer in the backyard with family and friends?

Try to stay cool, and drink water!!!
