New SLIDE!

We had a good holiday weekend. We were pretty mellow most of the day on Saturday and had Gramma and Poppo over for dinner. Thanks guys from bringing all the good grub!! For Emma's Birthday, we purchased a BIG water slide. We were going to rent one for Emma's Birthday Party, but discovered it made more sense to buy one to enjoy for the summer!! Daddy put it up Saturday afternoon and we had a lot of fun!!!

So Emma was a little timid climbing up the slide, so mama put her suit on to show her how it was done. Once she got the hang of it, she had a blast!!! It took Ellie a while, but she loved it too once she got over her little fear of going down . . .


So . . . there's a reason "big girls" shouldn't go down the slide!!!! The weight limit is 180, but it sure didn't like me!!! I don't think the slide liked me too much. It was fine if I went down head first. It was fun none the less and reminded me of being a kid. And my loving husband made sure to capture it on film, so here you go . . .
