Slip n' Slide

This past Saturday, we went over to Scotty and Annie's to enjoy a day in the summer sun. They provided us with a fantastic lunch, then we commenced the fun on the slip n' slide. It was a perfect afternoon.

I love this picture of Sammy. Look at those lips. I'm sorry, but I think she's beautiful.

I also love this picture of her. She's walking around, but it looks as if she's running (when in reality she's stumbling around her little Sammy way)...
just like any other 4 year old..."Wait, it's my turn" as she runs toward the slip n' slide.



And here she is taking her turn with help from Daddy.

Callie was a little apprehensive about the whole thing, all day...
(just for the record, I think Callie's beautiful too -- really really beautiful)


until we turned off the water that is. She was all about the slip n' slide as soon as water wasn't splashing around.




That slip at the end was unintentional...and she was leery to get back on afterward. But this is the only way she went on the slip n' slide -- and she did it over and over and over again.




And of course Marcus and Scotty had their fun -- Annie did too, I just don't have video of her. I didn't participate. My chest still hurts a little bit from the accident, so I refrained on this trip. But maybe next time?




The highlight of the day, though, was this moment. Callie laughed so hard every single time Marcus pretended to fall. She wasn't thrilled when he brought her in the water with him, but she squealed and laughed so hard with each fall.





And since I've already gone overboard on the video, what's one more, right? This video, of course, doesn't show what happened in full force, but it's a little bit of what she was doing...she was starting to laugh so hard, she couldn't even stand still. I could imagine her saying "Oh, this is too much...I can't stand it!" It was so so cute. I love that girl so much. She cracks me up!
