They entered a pool, surrounded by rocks, and submerged themselves, attempting to "shake off the cold." They stayed there for a while, the rain still pounding down around them, then came out, smiles on their faces. They started to spread out, going to various places around my home, Waimarino.
I watched as one girl backed up from the Slip 'n' Slide, then ran forward and sprawled onto her belly as the water rushed around her, propelling her forwards. She splashed into the water at the bottom and rested there for a while, enjoying the warmth.
A couple of people were on the water trampoline, struggling to clamber up the ladder. They were grinning as they finally climbed on, and bent their legs, then pushed up, propelling themselves into the air, bouncing.
Across from that, the blob was being used, a boy sitting at the end of the colourful thing. Another boy jumped, landed. The boy at the end was thrusted into the air, shouting, and did a backflip, then landed with a "Splash"
My view was blocked from the other activities, but I could her excited laughter and yet more complains about the cold. I wished they would just... leave. Their noise, their footsteps, their food wrappers. It disrupted my home. I sighed. At least they would be gone soon. It wasn't as if I could do anything about it, anyway.
