First Day of Vacation

The temp is a 76 degrees, It's the first day of summer vacation, and the kids were sad that grandma and grandpa had come late and gone early (they were on their way to Hawaii, lucky). I was trying to think of something for the kids to do to take their minds off of them leaving. We went to the gas station and got drinks, a special treat for the kids, and when we got back we broke out the Triple Slide Slip and Slide. At first the kids were not sure if they liked this, but soon enough they got into it. All except Trista (she decided she's rather play the new Wii).

Kennedi was the first and it seemed like she was an old pro. On her first try she got herself all the way to the end of the slide. Something she couldn't do last year. She was excited, which got Brooke excited about trying it.



So Brooke had to try it. She opted for the run as fast as you can, drop to your knees when you hit the slide, and then bounce to your stomach. This method got her almost to the end of the slide, and left her wanting more.



Luke, being much smaller didn't try to run and slide, but he and his cousins Olivia and Gwen had a lot of fun running up and down the slide catching water in their faces. Luke also enjoyed crawling on his knees and pretending that he was sliding.



Over all everyone had a lot of fun as you can see by the smiles on everyones faces. Pictured below in order from L to R: Olivia, Gwen (cousins), Kennedi and Luke. Missing: Brooke.



Thanks Slip and Slide for a great afternoon.
