Slip and Slide (emphasis on slip)

It all started last Wednesday...Annah looked out on the back deck and saw the remains of the sprinkler I had bought her earlier in the summer. Belle had quite literally eaten it to shreds. Hysterics quickly followed. So, we were off to Target in search of a replacement sprinkler. However, it seems it was a bit too late in the season to buy a sprinkler and the best I could do was a clearance slip n slide. Turns out it was a brilliant purchase. Annah and Liam both love it (so do Will and I, but more on that later)!

Here is Annah's first run through. Not so much on her tummy, but having a blast!

I was a little worried about Liam...in the past he has not been such a big fan of sprinklers. No need to worry!


The next day Delainey and Jac came over to give it a go. Good times!

Now she's getting the hang of it!


Delainey was pretty darn good!


This picture is just SO Jac!
Sunday we pulled out all the stops. Annah had a monkey pool from last summer with a banana slide. Will thought it would be fun to set up the pool (it has a sprinkler that shoots out of the monkey's nose) so that you could slide out of the pool and onto the slip n slide down the hill. I thought he was crazy, but I was wrong. It was so much fun. We lubed up with lots of bubbles and away we went...all of us. I am so sore today from all of the fun!

Annah splashing around



Annah took a break from the sliding to blow some bubbles. I love this picture of her. It is just my sweet, sweet girl!



Will...see, I told you it was fun



Annah was not quite strong enough to get a good launch out of the pool, so Will had to position himself halfway down to keep her going


There was a leak in the hose and Jackson and Belle had their own game going



"Wwwwhhhhheeeee!!!!!"



Chillin' after a day of fun!
