    I love these ideas! I already have the sprinkler photo, and the beach one will come towards the end of the summer! I have to find an opportunity for the rest!

    Anything with water is always a winner. I may take my nieces and cool off at a water park! Thanks for sharing!

    What really fun ideas! I think my Kiddies would definitely love playing in the water and mud… they seem to be attracted to mess but I think it would definitely make for some amazing shots! Thanks for sharing!
