Backyard water fun — free, large-print puzzle evoking cold hoses, flying balloons, and the shriek of a sprinkler on a blazing afternoon.
About Seasonal
When the thermometer climbs past the point of reason, the backyard becomes its own water park. Someone drags out the hose, screws on a nozzle, and suddenly the lawn is a battlefield of squirt guns and lobbed water balloons. The sprinkler arcs back and forth across the grass, and every kid — and more than a few adults — takes a barefoot run through it just to feel that cold shock on a skin-hot afternoon.
