Super Slide

Saturday afternoon we all went up to Adam's sister's house to BBQ and check out their new backyard toy. The inflatable slide was amazing. Of course my boys had a blast! We brought Edison with us and although he had to work his way up to it, he finally went down the big slide. What a feat! And, unbeknownst to me, it was his first time on a big trampoline. I was wondering why he just stood still for a while and tried to figure out what he was supposed to do. It helped when the other kids got on and started jumping. All the kids got along well, with a few minor exceptions. When have 5 boys under the age of 11 ever got along without problems? Luckily, my niece Kenzie was there to keep them all in line. All in all, a really fun day!

Edison was really only interested in the gun for the first little while.

My kids jumped right in, no hesitations.

Edison discovered there was a slight incline from the tunnell into the water which he called a "slide". This kept him occupied for about 30 minutes.

Still figuring out what to do on this thing. Dallin offers some help.

Now we're gettin' it.

Edison noticed the slightly larger slide that goes into the kiddie pool. This offered about 20 minutes of entertainment for Edison, Taylor & Dallin.

Dallin would just sit at the top of the slide and the Taylor and Edison would "gently" nudge him along.

Finally, finally, at the end of the day, Edison decides to conquer the beast. Carter is eager to help.

Woo-hoo!

p.s. If it seems like I take an absurd amount of pictures of Edison and Cash, it's because they live so far and we hardly ever get to see them. :(
