Fun with Friends

Last week we went over to a friends house to play on their new water slide. We were so excited, then all the rain came. We were really hoping everything would clear out by Thursday last week but it was still touch and go come Thursday morning. It was really cloudy, but all the weather reports said the rain should hold out until that afternoon so we decided to chance it and let the kids play outside on the new slide. I'm so glad we did too. The kids had a blast, although they didn't play long since it was a bit chilly they did play hard before we grabbed a quick snack and then headed inside to play a bit longer.
I'm so jealous of this thing. It's awesome! It sets up in just about 5 minutes and is a blast to play with. Lily hung out in the pool area and the kids all enjoyed sliding down the slide into the water below. I was hoping to grab one of these on sale at the end of the summer but Toys R Us is already sold out. This was a hot item this summer. Bummer :-(

They got cold quickly so we got dressed and played for a bit on the swing set. My two are literally monkeys! They can't actually "walk" across the monkey bars yet, but they swing and Jake can climb up on top. They would hang their until I came and got them down, thinking it was a fun game until Abby accidentally let before I got there and fell to the ground. She was a bit shocked but quickly came back around and ran off to play again. I am SO glad we don't have these at home. I know we'd be in the ER with broken bones for sure!!

The kids are really "tough" monkeys. It is called playing with exercise and learning from fun, isn't it.
