Slip and Slide

It was a beautiful day today so Ethan was looking for some water to play with! Thankfully he remembered the slip and slide that had been stashed in the closet since his birthday. We hooked it all up and he set off on his first slip and slide experience.


It took him a little bit to get used to it. For quite a while he would only get about halfway down it. Eventually, everything clicked and he started sailing all the way to the end.


He celebrated when he made it to the end by turning the surf board into an air guitar...I managed to sort of catch it on camera once. He's so goofy!


Micah was taking a nap, but we started it up again when he woke up. He took one look at it and announced he was not doing it. Then, he watched Ethan go sailing down it and promptly stripped to his underwear so he could give it a try. I ran inside and quickly grabbed a bathing suit for him (which explains how I grabbed one that's way too big so I just folded the waist over a few times to try and keep it from falling down!).




Micah only wanted to try a few times--I think because the water was cold and he really didn't like being totally out of control as he slid down. He hung out by me for a bit and sat and laughed at Ethan's antics. As you'll see in the video he gave it one last try, but was not happy about the ending!



I have a feeling the slip and slide will be out quite often this summer. We'll see if Micah decides to give it another try!
