Busted Sprinkler

October 22nd, 2011. (3 years, 4 months old.) by ben

Daddy had the job of actually fixing the sprinkler, and he showed me how to do it.

Sometimes dirt falls in the pipe when you get the broken sprinkler out, and the pipe has to be flushed.  I got to be chief pipe flushing monitor…

… er… taster

… er… when does the water stop coming out? … Clear!  Clear!  The pipe is clear!

Of course, there’s nothing like testing the sprinklers after fixing one for an excuse get outside and get wet!

Oh, and we needed to deliver some emergency water to the dry parts of the lawn!

Too bad the weather is getting colder now.  I’ll have to wait until next summer before it is hot enough to play in the sprinklers!

    Hahaha! I love that Ben tested the water! Way too funny. Ben’s daddy is sure lucky to have such a great little helper!

    Ben, you and your daddy are being good helpers around the house these days. You must really like being with your daddy and you are learning lots of things. Maybe you can show us that sprinkler when we come up to visit with you in a few weeks. And by the way, I really like your board shorts and rash guard! Luv, Ma

    It looks like Dad and Ben can even make working on the lawn fun! Nothing like running in the sprinklers when it is warm outside.
