Water Fun captures the feeling of a summer afternoon experienced as though it might last forever.

A water gun, a few friends, and a warm day were enough to create an entire world. There was no concern for time and no thought about tomorrow—only the chase, the laughter, getting soaked, and trying to get someone back before they got you first.

As children, we rarely recognize how temporary these moments are. Summer feels endless because, while we are inside of it, there is nowhere else we need to be.

Water Fun is about that beautiful illusion of childhood: the belief that the afternoon will never end, your friends will always be there, and there will always be enough time for one more game.
