Slip and Slide Fun

I haven't posted in a long time!!! Part of that is due to us being gone and then to loosing our camera. Thankfully our prayers were answered and we found it. Can you guess where? In the back of our van. Yeah, anyways, this and the preceeding two posts are the first in a series of posts that will cover the last month and a half. I've already spent way to much time on this so I will have to do the post on my family reunion a little later. That will be a fun one so keep watching for it. I should be able to post more regulary now, assuming we don't loose our camera in the back of our van again. Thanks for keeping in touch with us!!

We got a slip and slide last month and the kids have had so much fun on it. This is the first night we go it out and it turned into a great family activity.

Isaac had fun watching everyone. Don't ask me what Emma is doing in the background.

This is the only time the Jaxson would go down it. He loved to play in the water but wouldn't slide in it.
OK, so maybe we're bad parents, but Emma is such a water baby and we were hoping that Isaac would be too. Evidently, he's not. We never put him right in the water and the stream of it wasn't falling on him but I think the sound of it on the plastic scared him. A guy was driving by as we did this and he actually stopped and watched and then laughed at us when Isaac started to get upset. Yes, we are retarded.
The kids couldn't figure out how to drop and slide on it so Josh put them on the pillow thing and then pushed them down the slide. Emma thought that was the greatest.Even Josh took a turn going down it

This is Emma attempting to slide on her own. Obviously she hasn't gotten the hang of it yet.
