New Slip n' Slide

After Daniel's slip n' slide got popped a coupel weeks ago I promised him we would get another one.  I let him pick out his new slip n' slide and this is what we ended up with.  It is a double slide with body boards.  We decided to try it out after our Pioneer Day activity.  The funny part is that they didn't actually ride the body boards down the slide.  Mostly they held them out in front of them and slid on their bellies.  They did have a lot of fun though. 

We didn'thave very good water pressure, so Andy held the hose to keep the slide wet.

ending up on his backside.

Daniel slid and rolled most of the way down the slide.

Aunt Jenny was supervising to make sure Dad didn't get too wild.

Eliza was suppose to be taking a nap, but she couldn't go to sleep when she could hear and see the boys playing.  Eliza peeking out the window.

It was such a pathetic site that I gave in and let her come play instead of napping.

One happy little girl!

Mom and Aunt Jenny enjoying watching the kids play.  Daniel was good to help show Eliza how to go down the slip n' slide.

Dad had to go in the house for a while, so Aunt Jenny took over watering the slip n' slide.

Eliza caught on pretty quickly.  She would get up on her knees and push off.  She would only go a few inches and then start over again.

When Eliza got done sliding she decided to be a puppy instead.

I can't believe how long she just sat there in the stream of water because it was a little bit cold.

When the kids were done sliding we broke out the water guns for a good fight.

The boys ganged up on Aunt Jenny until Dad came out and then everyone attacked him.

I tried to get pictures of everyone during the water fight...

Can you see a pattern here?

Eliza was no respecter of persons.  If you got close enough she would shoot you.  I do have to say her favortie to shoot was Dad.

 

After the water fight we went around back and had ice cream bars and visited.

It was a relaxing afternoon and everyone was glad to share it with Aunt Jenny.

After dinner the kids got through the shower and Aunt Jenny let them play Angery Birds on her Kindle Fire.  The boys loved it!  Dad even got into it.
