So after seeing all the fun my friend Lindsey had with their slip ‘n slide a few weeks ago, we decided that we needed one too! I attempted to pick one out at Wal-Mart last time I went, but then decided that this is really a “dad” thing. I mean, really now, chances are I will not be partaking in the slipping and sliding (at least until it is 120 out and I am totally miserable!) so I don’t really care what it looks like!!
So after dropping off Grandma at the airport Saturday, Chris and the kids hit up Toys R Us and headed home with this lovely jewel! We got it out yesterday and the kids (all three of them…I am including Chris here!!) had a blast! I must say that Huntler by far had the most fun! He wore his little self out! He was frozen solid and exhausted, but he refused to stop!
He didn’t quite get the whole “run and dive on your tummy” concept, but we found a way around that…Chris would hold him and then launch him down the slide! He laughed and smiled and talked up a storm…loving every second!
Miss Gentry is much like her mommy in this area…she doesn’t mind getting a little wet, but only on her terms. By NO stretch of the imagination did she want to be flung down the slide. Nor did she want anyone coming at her or invading her space. She wanted to splash around where the water had pooled a bit and then stick her hands in the water spouts every now and again!
Huntler has already been asking to get it out again…looks like we found a fun new summer toy! And since it isn’t warm enough to get in the pool yet, the Slip ‘n Slide will work out just right!
(Remember to click on the pictures to see them bigger! The ones of the kids drinking are really cool big…our camera did an amazing job of catching the water!!)
Here is our sassy girl doing her own thing! You can tell that I am experimenting in Photoshop and learning new techniques!! I have always loved vintage…
Look out! Here come the boys! LOVE this shot!!
Not so sure what to think of this…we don’t drink water out the tap down here…it has a tendency to make people sick and we don’t want to go there…However, running back and forth forever in 99 degree heat does make a boy thirsty!!
What a pose! Tongue out and all! Love it!
A little more vintage for you!
He was absolutely frozen solid yet we gave him a popsicle!! These Minute Maid frozen lemonades are THE BEST! {MMMMMM!!!}

Best money ever spent! Gentry’s bathing suit is so cute! Where is is from. I love red polka dots. When I am moaning that it is too hot, I think that you guys are probably hotter!
Love the pics! I think Chris should get a gold star for participating like he did. The picture of Huntler with his tongue out made me laugh because he looks SO HAPPY! And Miss Gentry – never seen anyone except maybe in a movie in a swimsuit AND a matching bow in her hair! She could sell accessories…come to think of it, I think she has. Love, Grandma Debbie
How fun… GREAT pictures!!!!
I got Gentry’s suit from the Gap Outlet back in February! I saw it and HAD to have it! I must admit that she looks pretty darn cute in it!!
