Slip N Slide

After the boys got back from Mike and Dorothy's, we ran out and bought a slip n slide.  I had been meaning to get one and just hadn't gotten that far.  We got it set up in front, got swim shorts on, and we let the kids go.  We even got a double slide!  The kids started out great, and even ran out with their goggles on...but then the meltdown began.  Holy smokes.  They were totally wiped out from being gone for a few days, and let's just say that this morning ended with me hauling in all FOUR of the boys screaming and crying, forceably stripping at least 2 of them, shutting all 4 of them naked and wailing into their room, then returning to open the door just enough to throw everyone's shorts in and holler at them to get dressed.  UG.LY. 

 

BUT, they all finally calmed down.  We set it up in the backyard for the afternoon and invited Sky over to slide with us, and we added water guns to make it that much more fun.  And while it looks like Sky was the only one getting the brunt of the guns, that's not true, I just liked getting pictures of all my boys together :)  Everyone did much better the second (and third and fourth and millionth) time around, but I wasn't so sure at first!
