Cute post. But what was the weather like…one girl had on shorts and a down vest?

Kids wear shorts/skirts all year round. I have never quite understood it. —Jeffy

Children should be taught not to play ball games along a storm drain. It is well known children had been drowned and/or washed away in situations similar to this, trying to retrieve a ball that falls into the water.

It’s not a storm drain, it’s a river 10cm deep. —Jeffrey

I think these kids really improvise what ever they had. Never came across my mind to did it that way.
