Slip and Slide

This afternoon we went outside to play on Michael's new toy that he got for his birthday, a slip n slide. Our neighbor next door was outside with her son and the boy were going to play on their own slip n slides. Todd was pushing the boys down each slide on the small inflatable board that comes with it.

After watching this for a few minutes, the moms decided to show the boys how to slip n slide. We each went inside to put on our bathing suits and then took our turns on the slides. It was fun to go through the water and slide down to the end. It was also refreshing at the temperature was approaching 100 outside. However, one thing I realized is that it's a lot further down to the ground when you are a mom than when you are a 5 year old. I felt lucky to get a few slides in and not break anything or get any bruises.

What was pretty funny was that after I went on the slide, Michael still would not go on the slip n slide without being pushed. He would walk on it but that was it. Maybe next time.....
