Bike wash

With all of the work we do around the house, we usually have scraps of either wood or PVC around for other projects. This was one of them. 

I call it a sprinkler, since it sprinkles down water onto you. The kids call it a bike wash. No matter the name, it is SUPER fun!!

Apparently it also doubles as a drinking fountain. 

We played on the grass for a little bit, well until it flooded too much, and then moved it onto the alley for some bike washing fun. 

Well...almost everyone. Brennon was doing what he always does. Sitting out. It takes him a while to warm up to ANY idea. Water especially. 

So we entertained ourselves with pictures while the others played. 

Brennon ended up trying it about an hour after the other kids. Of course we had to turn the water down to a trickle, but it got him on his bike, at least. There was some over-the-top excitement and cheering for that boy. And once he got used to it, he was the one that asked us to keep it up a few minutes longer. He even consented to turning up the water. Just a bit!

If you look close, you can see all of our cuties. It was so simple. Says the one that watched, ahem*! 2- 6' sides, 1- 4' top with holes drilled every 2", and 2- 4' base pieces with a hose connector on one end instead of four caps. It works like a charm. 

So, if ever your bike needs a good wash, come on over!! We'd love to play!!

(As long as you don't mind a trickle for the first hour, or so!)
