it was time to cool off.
this was a great way to beat the heat.
the funniest part of these pictures was just as we got our changed into our swimsuits….
another family showed up.
a very large man and his two children.
his kids would NOT keep their clothes on…
and the MAN was walking through all the sprinklers…IN HIS CLOTHES!
fully dressed in pants, shirt and even his socks!
so in every photo i had to walk around making sure the big soaking wet man wasn't in my shot…
or his naked kids.
not quite as pretty now is it?
Chasity - how refreshing….
donna - Hi Meg awhile ago you told me what photo site you used to change your pictures sizes, etc. Since then I had a computer crash and lost everything. Can you remind me of the site you use? thanks
Ashley Ann - I love splash parks! The last one where your son is reaching the bucket makes me a little sad (and excited). It seems like it will be forever before any of my boys would be able to reach one of those buckets, but I know that day will be here before I know it. Your kids seem so fun…
Anne Pearson - So FUN! What neat pictures of water!
misty - do you have an etsy account? I love all of the crafts you make and want to buy everything for my own home- I am crafty at all…
can you email me at misty_tharp@yahoo.com
jessica leigh - these are great. we went to the water park just like this the other day, and my boys wouldn’t even get close. they are so silly! love your sunflowers at the top! gorgeous!
carissa... brown eyed fox - woooooo hoooooo… WHAT fun!
the BEST eye candy!
just had the best time scrolling through all i have missed the last few weeks!
big ‘ol smiles here!

SERIOUSLY… how many socks will you knock off… :)!

you have been having quite the summer… FULL… lots of goodness!
big hugs… lots of love… mucho happiness!
btw… your sessions shots are amazing… just amazing! so wish we were in your area!
Kirsten - Well…I’da loved to at least see the man in his clothes…and I flashed back to my visit to Garden City, Kansas…long about 1976???or so…they claimed to have the largest outdoor cement pool, lol. How ironic that here in the Northwest we’re wearing sweatshirts and drinking hot tea.
alyssa - nice visual…thanks! your pictures would have done just fine.
Jill Jones - So, I have an email ready to send you, but for the life of me I can’t find a way to contact you other than leaving a comment. 🙁 It’s funny and everything. What do I doooo?! :0/
Secret Mom Thoughts - Great photos. Too funny about the wet man and the naked kids.
kasey - must be kansas!
lol.
CherryTreeLane - Love the pics and I am IN LOVE WITH YOUR NEW HEADER!
macy your niece - cool sunflowers. I’m wondering if any of the kids that were naked were boys?if they were that’s freaky grosssssss!
Angie - Hi Meg,
I have been reading your blog for sometime. I found you on the Mac’s blog. I love your pictures! You are so talented. I was wondering if you could tell me how I could order one of your rainbow t-shirts for my daughter. I was going to try to make one on my own, but fear that I am not so crafty! I have tried to look you up on Etsy, but with no luck.
Thanks,
Angie
traci - I kinda wanted to see the man in full clothes all wet..lol
I COULD NOT LOVE YOUR NEW SUNFLOWER HEADER MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holly - We are here in CA. My husband and I just spent the weekend driving from Santa Barbara to Monterey. We went to Solvang, a Danish village that was so cool. Even your wonderful photographs could not capture the beauty of this drive. It is breathtaking! I can look at your photos and see all the places where you were. We are going to go down to Santa Monica tonight. We are staying in Oxnard. Was the cold weather just crazy. jackets in July is not normal for Alabama. But, it sure is nice for a little while.
Courtney - THAT IS SO WEIRD!
Anna Marie - I LOVE the new header! I was so right about your skills and those sunflowers in Kansas!!! They are so happy and refreshing to look at! Good job! 😉
Michele - I bought my son the same floral swim trunks this year…!!! Yea for WM!
Laura - you always have the best shots. Love the floral swim trunks and the polka-dots!
sooo glad the naked man isn’t in the photos… I mean was so afraid that was what you were going to say… EEK! Thanks for sharing… love the sunflowers.
Mary Elizabeth - LOVE THE NEW HEADER!!!!! 🙂 Awesome picture!
Laura Phelps - be thankful the man was not naked. It could always be worse!
Ruth - looks like fun! and i love your sunflowers!
Courtney - Now I’m curious… socks but no shoes?
Jacki - Great pictures! Love the peace sign tattoo on the hand, very cute and cool!
I have to admit when I hand watered my yard today (water restrictions are a pain but necessary where I live) I purposely got a *little* wet and I had my clothes on. 🙂
Brittany - That looks like an AWESOME park!! I can’t believe there weren’t more people there on such a hot day! Maybe the large wet man and his naked kids scared everyone away! My mental picture is not pretty and it would probably deter me from staying 😉 Thanks for sharing!
Penny - Oh, that is so funny. Yes, I would love to see a picture of the man in his clothes. How old were the kids? I hope they were somewhat small. Otherwise that is just weird! Was the man chasing the kids or just cooling off in his clothes? You must show us at least one!
Danielle - I too want to know is this in Newton, Hesston, Halstead….please tell. Looks like so much fun! I’d love to take my kids it would be a fun alternative to the pool. Also are you planning to make more pillows? I found your blog after you closed your etsy shop and am still drooling over the cute things you made.
Cate O'Malley - Awesome pics!
Looking for an email address to contact you, but don’t see one. Can you drop me a line?
KAT - haha…that is fantastic! your pics ARE still pretty though 🙂
Elma Riedstra - What fun pictures!! At least the man kept his clothes on otherwise your kids would have beem ruined for life:)
Courtney - It’s official, I’ve decided I want to live where you do. I love the shots you take of your town, I love that you get to walk to do things (like go get ice cream or anything else for that matter), and I LOVE the small town homeyness of it all! I never thought I would really miss living in a small town, but the more I read your blog and see the awesome pictures you post of where you live, the more I want to move there!
Julia - my daughter has that polka dot suit – wouldn’t it be fun to have pictures of kids in the same clothes from all over the country?
Maria Masurat - Oh My Goodness!
You take such wonderful pictures!
Thanks for sharing!
Lisa K in FL - HAHAHA, oh yeah – post it – we wanna see …. 🙂
Darby - Come on Meg… I know you got ’em in at least one picture… please show us!
Michelle B - It hasn’t been such nice weather around here (cloudy + rain) . But we tried the shaving cream fun today. My boys LOVED it! Thanks for the idea!
Bri - Is this in Hesston?
Aubrey - I bet the poor people living across the street enjoyed THAT show. At least the man kept his clothes ON. 😉
