So anyway...back to yesterday! Lefty learned to mow (the summer job she begged for)...
Then to cool everyone off, Chris set up the slip-n-slide...
Which they all played on...
And quickly decided it wasn't long enough, so it went redneck style...
slip-n-slide + tarp + lots of dish soap = lots of slippery fun! |
Then had popsicles before coming inside to clean up...
After popsicles, everyone came in and NAPPED!!! Then it was time for fried chicken, mac-n-cheese, green bean casserole, and Hawaiian sweet rolls for dinner...after which Chris and the 3 littles went for sno-cones and DISH SOAP (because all we had got dumped on the slip-n-slide). They brought back Gnomeo and Juliet to cap off a perfect day with a family movie night. I wish I had taken pics of that, because everyone camped out in front of the t.v. with bean bags and blankets. I hope the rest of the summer goes exactly like the first day did!
That slip and slide looks like so much fun! When I was in first and second grade, we lived in a house that had a huge hill in the backyard, perfect for sledding in the winter and slip and slides in the summer. We always placed a baby pool at the bottom for a crashpad :)
ReplyDeleteI love the summers too, Jeri! Only two days left of work for me. Things will be a bit different this year for me, though. With the oldest going into high school, I am looking at carting her back and forth to volleyball practice most of the summer. :-/
