Slip-n-slide!

I got a slip-n-slide for my birthday and today mom got it out to try out.  We are waiting to make sure that it is covered in water.

Scout thought that he would try it out and have a little water.

Here is a video of me trying it out for the first time.  It was harder than we thought to learn to slide.

My first attempt at the slip-n-slide.

I got on and figured out how to get wet.  It was sure refreshing on a warm Redding evening.

I took to army crawling along the slip-n-slide to make it to the end.

I made it to the end splash zone and did a little swimming.

Hey look at how far I made it on my belly or ran and flopped down.

We learned how to slide on our legs, which was a blast.

From our legs we would flop onto our stomachs and come to a stop.

Here I am in action.

I had a great time standing in the splash pool at the end and having the sprinklers get me soaked.

Here is a shot by shot of my slide from a running start. . . 

. . . to a pose at the end.

Hey look I somehow made it to the end.

Hanging out on the slip-n-slide.

We had a great time slip-n-sliding together.

Ta-da!

Oh nooooooo, am I going to make it?

Here is my action shot by shot from running start to . . .

We went over and over and over again.

Each time we got a little better at sliding.

Even though it was in the 90's when we were slip-n-sliding I still got cold after awhile and needed to take a break and warm up.

I on the other hand kept on sliding.

And posing for the camera.

I found a wish flower to blow and was quite excited about it.

Mommy made us a yummy dinner to enjoy outside since we were wet.

After dinner we ran back and forth and raced on the slip-n-slide.

I stopped and posed for mom while I ran!

We had a great time running together and holding hands.

We got pretty excited to make it to the end.

Then we laid down and had fun hanging out together.

This was sure a fun present.  In fact when we headed inside to dry off I told mom, "this is the best present ever!"

This is one more photo from mom's phone that captures Makayla catching some air.

We had so much fun the night before that Mom invited Allie and her mom over for lunch and some slip-n-sliding after basketball camp.

Here is a video of the three of us sliding together.  We have to crack up because you really do put on a better front when you are being filmed.

Allie's mom instructed us on how to properly slide on our stomachs.  As our time went on we got a little bit better at sliding.

The slip-n-slide was just as much fun today as it was yesterday.  Maybe even more since we had Allie this time.

We really did get better about sliding on our stomachs.  Thanks Sara!  You are a great teacher.

Allie and I made it to the end!  We had a blast sliding with Allie!  

I had a great time swimming and dancing in the splash pool.
