Water hoses, kids and summer go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Like Laurel and Hardy. Like U.S. Route 30 and road construction.

PHOTOS: 3 Reasons Thunderstorms Beat Fireworks

And once you put all those elements together, it's physically impossible not to get a cute photo. Try it. Your camera won't allow you snap a shot that doesn't make you go, "Awww."

That's why we've put together a mini-gallery of photos from readers and Patch contributors that show some of the inventive ways Frankfort kids—and someone slightly older—are using hoses, sprinklers and sprays to cool off this summer.

Thanks to readers Missy Goodman and Steve Macri for sharing their photos in the Neighborhood Gallery. And thanks to Patch contributors Rebecca Wharrie and David Hansen for their shots while on assignment.
