Slip N' Slide

Today we decided to take a little reprieve from the hot sun by setting up a slip n' slide on Grandma and Papa's front lawn. We laid out a large piece of poly on the hill and then set up two sprinklers and covered the thing in dish soap..it made for a great (and clean) slide. Everyone took a turn sliding down the slide...with Tyler, Matt, and Papa showing off their manliness by doing rolls, spins, and dives. (Word to the wise...diving only works well in a pool...not so much on a slip n' slide). It reminded us of a certain polysporin commercial..."Dad, Dad, Dad!" Suddenly it occurs to you, maybe now would be a good time to pick up some more polysporin!
Lucy enjoyed the festivities very much but got cold a few times, so we created a makeshift tub for her out of a rubbermaid container. She would take a break in her pool every few minutes, and then be ready to go for a few more slides.
Max even took a few rides with Papa down the hill. It went something like this:
Ride #1: total shock...what just happened?
Ride #2: hmmm? This is interesting, but I'm not sure what's going on.
As Papa sat down in preparation for ride #3, he had caught on and decided he really didn't like it. Ride #3 never happened. Instead he hung out with Grandma and made funny faces.
We ended the evening by having a delicious steak dinner and playing GuitarHero on Playstation.

This is what summers are all about.
