Finally!!!!!!! A water fun activity all the kids can enjoy!

Summer fun


Even before this current heat wave, we made many attempts to find the right water play for our huge yard. First we tried a slip and slide, but but is was a bit boring. We even put it on a downhill slope, which made it more exciting, but the kids' slid beyond the end of the slip 'n slide on down the grassy hill creating multiple belly abrasions----not good.
These pics are our next attempt. It's a little pool with a blow up whale slide. The whale has a spout that sprays water. It looked great in the box but once we set it up, it was very small. The spray was great as a sprinkler and created a rainbow in our yard, but only the little ones could actually use the slide.


JR loves holidays. For our nation's birthday she showed her patriotism with her creativity. first she made a crown for our "Little Bit". Next, she created a wall sized banner with construction paper which the boys posed in front of with their self-created hair styles.

Gourmet lunch attempt



While watching the movie "Benchwarmers", we decided to create our own gourmet sandwiches. We took 2 of our favorite foods and made skittles and tuna sandwiches. The giggles abounded as we carefully placed the colorful skittles onto the tuna. Anticipation mounted and mouths watered while we took time to pose for pics. Alas, one bite was all it took for us to realize we were NOT gourmet chefs. It tasted horrid! The texture mix was way wrong. Thru trial and error, we now know these 2 favorites should never be mixed. Only GB ate all of his. The rest of us picked off the skittles and finished our tuna sanwiches.
