Slippin' Summer Fun!

When my parents asked for birthday ideas for H (who turned 6--I can't believe it!!), Ted came up with the idea of a Slip and Slide. Here are the girls trying it out for the first time.

They were a little nervous at first about running and sliding head-first on their tummies, but they eventually got the hang of it. H was still cautious, and frequently would run up to the edge, stop, and then kind of dive on her tummy.





After the initial few times, G was the most fearless about getting a long running start.







M didn't quite get the concept of sliding on her tummy and didn't really like to get wet all that much either. She preferred to fill her watering can and water the flowers.


Here are a couple of short videos of H and G. H was very excited to finally make it all the way down to the end of the slide, and I don't know where she got it from, but G kept saying "Incoming!" before she would run and slide. :-)
