Popsicles and Squirt Guns

There is nothing better on a hot summer day to get the squirt guns out of the toy bucket, fill 'em up and go after each other in the shade!  I also have a freezer full of popsicles that most of the kids in the neighborhood know about so I have frequent visitors under the age of 10.   Every neighborhood needs a popsicle lady and on my block, I'm it.

The kids were running and playing, and took a break to fill the squirt guns.  I looked at their cute faces, and thought to myself, I sure these kids remember each other in 20 years, 30 years, 40 years down the road.  I grabbed my camera hoping to get a snapshot of the kids, so they would remember coming to the house to cool down with popsicles and squirt guns.

Can you tell it was nearly 105' on the day I snapped this picture? I asked the kids to pretend they were getting stung by a bee, and I had one chance to get a picture of their reactions.  It is priceless!
