Slip 'n' Slide Fun...

On Friday, my good friend Leanne who lives across the street invited Owen, Autumn and I over for an afternoon play day. She has a little boy, Linkin, who is about 8 months older than Owen and the boys have a great time playing together. She has a little kid pool, a slip 'n' slide, swing set and a giant sand box in her back yard so we decided to let the kids have some fun in the sun! After Owen's nap he got all dressed in his swim atire and we walked across the street. Owen was a little hesitant of the slip 'n' slide at first, but he quickly warmed up to it after watching Linkin playing on it. He loved it so much and kept begging me to go to the store to buy him one once we got home. Needless to say, I am taking him out to buy him one this afternoon, he loved it and it helped him burn off a lot of energy!

Isn't this picture too cute? Here is Owen all ready to walk over to Linkin's House.
He had the time of his life playing on this. Here is Linkin and Owen running down the slip 'n' slide trying to see who could make it farthest without falling. Not sure if you can tell, but they are having a blast together. If your wondering why they neither of them have their swimming trunks on, its because they kept falling off every time they slide down the mat so we gave up and just took them off. They had grass clipings and mud all over them but they didn't care one tiny bit! Boys!?!?
Her shirt says it all! Autumn loves being outside, something about the fresh air makes her one happy baby!
After all the fun on the slip 'n' slide we decided to move this little kiddy pool under the bottom of the slide. Wow, they had a blast and made one heck of a muddy mess. Do you see how black the water in the pool is?
