Springtime Fun!!

I guess technically this was still winter, since it was a couple days ago. But this is California, and we don't have seasons. It was 80 degrees, and we had a water balloon fight. In the process of that, the kids kept slipping on the grass, and laughing, making us say, "hey, they need a slip-n-slide"

Well, they got the concept of the slip-n-slide, but running at something full speed, and then falling onto your stomach is not a natural instinct type thing. I guess when you've spent your whole life learning how to not fall down, doing it on purpose is hard to do. So, we tried explaining how to do it. "Like a penguin!" was yelled more than I could count. It just wasn't working, so we had to improvise, and play kid bowling. It was fun for everyone!

These are excellent pictures, and it is snowing here today. Awesome.

I remember many a bloody incident on the slip-n-slide. Gotta watch out for those rocks in the ground.
