This past Saturday we hosted our Annual Slip 'n Slide Party. If you've been keeping track, this is our third year in a row hosting it. It's definitely a tradition, and it's so much fun we have to keep doing it. Not only do we host it every year, but the slide gets bigger every year. This year, it was 115 feet long!
There are two sprinklers as you go down, and this year some folks put shampoo all over them to make them go faster. (I won't name names, but I'll just say kids were NOT involved.)
I love the looks on kids faces as they are going down, though - you know it's just some kinda fun!
And you can tell by the fact that the kids NEVER STOP that they are loving it! Rex enjoying the ride.
Reese cracks me up - no clothes on, but that hair bow is important while slip 'n sliding.
Ansley, Anna Kate and Rylee got creative and wanted to go down while holding hands. I love the looks on their faces!
Chad and baby Jacks going down. Who's having more fun? Hard to say.
This was just interesting: after being thrown down the slide (by her Daddy) Reese was not very happy. Girls to the rescue! All the girls rushed over to help her, and I just thought it was interesting to note that there was not a boy in sight.
Trying it a different way: Anna Kate, Rylee and Ansley.
They kept going.
The whole group. It was a fun evening with great company, lots of BBQ and homemade ice cream!
And this picture makes me laugh because it looks like between all these couples we have 4 kids (instead of the 18 in reality!) But sometimes, when you're pregnant and it's hot, you just take a picture and don't worry about it. And you may also go a whole evening without ever taking a cute shot of your own son, or about half the guests. Hormones. They make me forgetful. Or lazy. One of the two.
Just got this one. Thanks Emilee!
I mean seriously I think every year you tell me "we'll have to let you know about it and have y'all up" and every year I see the post and we aren't in the pictures :) Totally kidding - it's just looks like SOOO much fun. Although - I've never been a fan of wet grass and bare feet...hmmm...but I'd do it for the Greiner SlipNSlide :)
Love ya!
MEGAN RESPONDS: Ouch, that hurts a little. Did you read about the hormones, sickness? Next year, for sure! Mark it down, July 2011, Make Trip To Greiners. Okay? I think I know most of the things you are not a fan of, but that's a new one for me. Mental note. :) Love you too.

I commented but it must have disappeared in cyberspace. . . The gigantic Greiner slide always makes me smile. :) Happy summertime!!!
