Spraying water screams summer fun more than about anything else; whether you are at a water park or just a park with a water element. Above, we feature the water mister at The Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden last weekend. Children gleefully ran through the water-- usually more than once-- on the extremely hot day. Today is the first day of summer vacation for public school children. Many students have headed to the beach with their families, a North Carolina tradition. (We have great beaches). However, for those of us who can't get away, a water park or garden hose will be just fine.
We love the way the triangular shape of the young boy's folded balloon mimics that of the above structure's frame. Finally, that little reflection on the ground qualifies us to participate in James' Weekend Reflections!
I was not aware that they have installed a mister! Have to check it out this summer!

Kids must love this ! Hmmm.... just wondering. Same concept as the drive through car wash. Which came first ?
Have a great day !

Katja:
We think it is just temporary, that the water mister is portable and goes from special to event to special event.
Ken: I'd never made that association. You are so right!! It does work like a car wash!

I've never seen such a thing. I want to go through!

This is a must in the southern states during the summer months! Great shot!

These misters are a great idea.

I'm familiar with these misters from Lois' racing. Quite often in the summer, the race organizers provide misters as the runner cross the finish line...a wonderful respite.
Thanks for visiting today and for your very nice comment. Hope that your weekend is progressing as well as you'd hoped!
