Yahooo!

That was the word of the day on Friday.

Some friends of ours invited us to join them for a slip 'n slide party.


We did it for a youth activity a couple of weeks ago and it was fantastic.
It was just as much fun with friends. Thanks friends!


You can do it too! All you need is a HUGE piece of black plastic (you can get it from a landscaping supply company), a GIANT bottle of dish washing liquid, and a hose from a friendly neighbor.

We did it down a hill. It is tons of fun, especially the dog-pile at the bottom. Today I have bumps and bruises and my back is sore, but it was worth it!

It was a little scary at times...you know, with the grass monsters.

Ohhh, much better. This is MY grass monster, and he's hot!
After sliding on their own for a while, the little ones got tired of bumping down the hill on their own stomachs, so they would wait until a larger person would slide, then they would hitch a ride!

Sometimes they missed,

Most of the time, they made it!
Often they ganged up on the big person and overpowered him!
Sometimes it was voluntary,
as long as the favor was returned!
The mookster took her turn then enjoyed watching.

Then got a little sleepy.

The girlies were very competitive...Leanne was slow *wink*.
But she was sure cute!
Angie was the fastest.
And so many others had a great time! Weston,
Bo
Gavin
Bridget... or Brooklyn?
You can see all the pictures here.
It was a good time all around. Thanks again!
