Last year, the kids refused to use the Slip N' Slide (that I got for $5 on clearance), because the water from the hose was too cold, but that didn't stop them on Saturday. I will say that the water from our hose is cold - we have well water and our well is about 200 foot deep. So, we would let the water run on the Slip N' Slide for a minute, then shut it off for them to go down. They had a blast!
They also have developed some sort of obsession with worms. I don't know, so don't ask. Taylor names them and wants to keep them as pets - GROSS!!!!
Here is the video from the SlipNSlide - I will pre-apologize for Taylor's horrid noise in the last part!
I _LOVE_ slip-n-slides! I remember when I was a kid my softball coaches would break them out for sliding practice! Very cool pics. But, the worms - GROSS! My girls are starting to bring them to show me now and it's all I can do not to bat them out of their hands ('cause I am NOT picking them up!). hehehe
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny that they like worms! I love the pictures and little Trace analyzing the worm...too cute! What a fun day, I wish it would warm up here!
ReplyDeleteTay and Trace, you guys are adorable, but worms are GROSS!!! Your friends Grace and Seamus would have fun digging up worms with you - and catching spiders too! Ew!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Taylor loves worms as much as Ellie loves catepillars....LOL. I broke down and got a Slip N Slide last year, too, but didn't think a thing of getting it out last wkend when it was hotter than the Sahara Desert. The kids looked like they had a blast...summer is almost here!!!
ReplyDeleteUh oh! Zoe wants a slip and slide now! We'll have to see about that! Taylor and Trace look like they had a ton of fun! Yep, I totally get the worm thing as both of my older girls are interested in bugs! Yuck!
ReplyDeleteThe pics didn't come up last time I visited but that worm! Hannah would flip seeing it, she LOVES worms!
ReplyDeleteToo cute - they do look like they had a blast on the slip n' slide! Love the video! The worm pictures are funny - Trace looks so intrigued and Taylor looks proud to be showing you the worms she found!
ReplyDeleteHi Destini,
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you! I am glad you found our blog. :) I look forward to getting to know you and your family through your blog as well. What a beautiful family you have!

I remeber I loved EARTHOWRMS when I was little, honestly! They are very good worms as a matter of fact, they are very good for the earth, I think they are better kind that roches :-) We even had a Polish cartoon for kids with a nice character - earthworm Magda :-) I love kids who love worms like that. It means they have a great connection with Mother Earth....
ReplyDeleteI loved our Slip 'n' Slide when I was a kid! It looks like they had a really great time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day. The slip and slide will bring hours of entertainment all summer, right??!!
