Summer Days

Our Summer Day!!

We had an amazing summer day today. It really began last night. Katie came over to help me put the girls to bed because Joe is out of town. It was so nice. They were all in bed by 9:30 without a tear shed from them or me (thanks Katie for the help). So with Audrey in bed I got a few things done then headed to bed only to wake up this morning at 7:00 am without a peep from Audrey last night. It was wonderful!! The rest of the girls slept in until 8:00 am so we had a great morning.
Then our friend the Bartholomew's invited us over to spend the day outside playing on their new swimming slide. Now this is not just an ordinary slip-n-slide that I grew up with. This is a monster slide. My girls had such a great time. Avery was of course nervous but she had fun too. Thanks Rachelle for inviting us over. We had such a fun day!!



Our Friends McKay and Kye!! Kye didn't want his picture taken so he is hiding.




The huge slide!!


It's so much fun getting wet!! The kids would not stop playing. It was such a blast!!!


This is Avery having fun. She began with the swings......

Then she ate some of the yummy watermellon and grapes.....

Then she tried to sit in the pool.........



Then she began a water fight. She had so much fun trying to get the kids wet.......


But watch out!! When the kids tried to get her she would run as fast as she could to get away...


It was so much fun watching them playing and having a blast!!!!!

And of course Audrey was there, sleeping through it all.........


Thanks Bartholomews for a great summer day!!!!

That is sooo much fun! I want one, do you think everyone on our block could pitch in $50 and we could get one? Let's keep it in your back yard! I'm glad you guys had so much fun.

I would love a neighborhood slide but I think your yard has much more room for it. So I will pitch in to buy one then send my kids down there everyday!!!!

I'm in on the water slide. Do they have one for adults, it looks like it would be a lot of fun.

WOW that is even better than I pictured it! It does look big enough for us adults. I think for sure somebody should get one I don't care who as long as they invite me over!
