The Mega Slide!

Yesterday afternoon, a huge box waited for us on our doorstep as we arrived home from running errands. The kids were thrilled when they saw a picture of a waterslide on the side of the box. Nanny decided that she would give Maya her birthday present early so that fun could be had by all during the hot days of summer.

As soon as I got home from work today, we all donned our suits and headed to the front yard for "slide set-up". Considering it was 96 degress with probably 99% humidity, I couldn't think of a better activity to survive the afternoon heat. Maya requested that we set the slide up in the front yard so that all of her neighborhood friends could come over.

Not 5 minutes after set-up, a goup of neighbor girls, all in their swimsuits, yelled from across the street asking if they could join our sliding adventure.

Kai eventually braved the big slide including climbing up the wall and sliding down all on his own. When I told him it was time to go inside, he held up his open palm and said "just 5 more times Mommy!".

We spent the whole afternoon jumping head first into the slip'n' slide tunnel and splashing down the waterslide. Oh what a ride!

Thanks Nanny for what will surely turn into hours of summertime fun.
