Slip & Slide

This past Saturday the sun stuck around long enough that Ebby declared the need hook up a sprinkler for some hydro refreshment.  Somehow she couldn't find a sprinkler but did manage to bust out the Wet n' Wild water slide that Bubbe gave the kids for their birthdays a few years ago.  Ebby and our 9 year old neighbor figured out how to work the foot pump and inflation was underway.  I assisted with some hose gathering and soon enough bathing suits were on and we were in business.
The first location we picked ended up being a bit too muddy so we detached the hose and had a change of venue.  The new location gave the kids plenty of room to get a running start before heading down the slide...
Behold, the action shots.
{Cuyler has the light blue bathing suit on, I think this is the 3rd year for that suit}                          
The slide was a big hit and amazingly no injuries--except to the lawn.  Oops.
We've been advised to move back to the mud pit for next time.  Shouldn't be a problem, it's a water toy so they can wash off, right?
