| He was in heaven! |
B and I stopped in at Wal.greens to pick up some milk last week. We happened to walk past some marked down water toys. When I saw the Lightning Mc.Queen Slip.n.slide for $5, I knew we had to buy it! B had no idea what it was, but was thrilled about anything having to do with water in the backyard. He was so excited that he couldn't settle down enough for a nap that day. I finally gave up on that notion and rushed out to the backyard to set the slip-n-slide up!
He literally just ran around the yard and squealed for a while before he decided to try it. It was so precious to watch the joy on his face.
He didn't stop moving the whole time; which did not make for super clear pictures. I was pretty excited about the pictures I did catch.
It didn't take too much convincing for the two sweet neighbor girls to join us.
Which means, that his seven year old friend taught him that sliding on your tummy was way more fun.
We took a watermelon break about an hour into the fun!
He almost fell asleep at dinner that night. He took a few scratches and bruises and even a burned up tummy to bed, but there was no complaining!
I captured the pictures with my iPhone and edited with snap.seed or instagram {bumberjoy screen name}.







So cute!
ReplyDeletePure delight! It sounds like every bruise and scratch was worth it!
ReplyDeletePrecious photos
Awesome! Good memories in the making :) I loved my slip n slide when I was little. Oh, he is such a boy... pain is part of the game
ReplyDeleteprinstagram.com--go there! that picture needs to be memorialized. it's flipping amazing! i wish georgia would brave up and go down a slip n'slide the right way. she's so afraid of water hitting her in the face! drives me bonkers.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun!!! I am so jealous - gravel yards here in AZ don't make for fun slip n slide experiences, lol. I love when our kids have SO much fun:)!
ReplyDeleteOh that does not sound like fun!! Another friend from AZ just commented on my pic that she missed grass so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eva :)
ReplyDeleteAll boy! Can't wait to hear about your vaca.
ReplyDeleteOh i love those little sticker books on there! Soo cute!!
ReplyDeleteThat first picture is PERFECT! I love the adorable expression you were able to capture! Looks like a really fun day :)
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I thought you said Walmart - so we went there in search of one - found something similar - the boys had a blast this morning. Although Isaac is super careful and will only walk down the slide. Huck asked if Brayden went fast on his belly (think he's wishing Isaac was a little more carefree with it).
ReplyDeleteOh goodness. That face is PRICELESS!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny ;)
ReplyDeleteOh sorry about that walmart/walgreens mixup! So glad you found one! We'll have to have a slip-n-slide playdate on a hot day soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eva :)
ReplyDeleteTheses pictures are adorable!!! I love the first pic!!!
ReplyDeleteTheo would LOVE that. As it stands, we're having the coldest June on record so, no dice :(
ReplyDeletePure heaven is right!! and those photos are pretty close to perfect to me. We had a slip n slide last year but it really tore up are awful grass. I may have to try again this year :)
