Beat the heat this ! This week's highlight is a black and white photograph of three children playing in a sprinkler on the grounds of the Nebraska Children's Home Society. Children at the Nebraska Children's Home were provided many activities to participate in, including playing in the sprinklers during the hot summer months.
