{Splash-tastic // Slip and Slide fun}


I don't know why 'playing on a slip n slide' didn't make our summer bucketlist cut, but it totally should have. I've been trying to find things that Mason can do to keep cool at home during the week. One afternoon we were walking around Five Below and I found a slip and slide...perfect! I remember growing up with these things and how they provided hours of entertainment for us. I knew Mason would love it. And if he didn't, it was only $5 bucks.

We finally hooked it up this past week! Mason drove his truck around a bit while Nathan worked on the water hose. It had some kind of attachment on it and he had the toughest time getting it off.
















Finally, it was ready for play. Nathan joined Mason while I took pictures. I guess I didn't realize how hard it would be to get pictures with water going in every which different direction and with moving bodies. But, I love the ones that I got. These boys have my heart and I just love them so. I love how Nathan gets right in there and plays with Mason.




























       
Mason loves the slip and slide. I wasn't sure exactly how it would go because he typically doesn't like water splashed in his face. But, the slip and slide didn't bother him one bit. He did have a little trouble sliding the full length of the slide though. He would back up like 20 feet and take off running to the slip and slide and then of course slow {nearly stop} when he got to the edge of it. It was so fun and funny to watch.
