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!
