Kickoff to Summer





The Monday before Memorial Day we had a kickoff to summer FHE. Austin got a lot of water toys for his birthday and was dying to try them out. So we asked Grandma Gray if we could have a water party at her house. She said yes, so we invited the cousins to come and play too. We had a triple racer slip 'n slide, water jet guns, and water balloons. The slip 'n slide had blow up boards that you could use to slide down. Austin tried to use it like a skateboard. . . it didn't turn out very well. Alex wouldn't get near the slip 'n slide while anyone else was using it. But of course, after dinner when the camera was put away, he finally slid down it. He was so proud of himself. It was really funny watching the kids try and sneek up on their parents and throw water balloons at them. Kelsey and Alex had to be the funniest. Everytime they went to throw their balloons they didn't pop or they popped on them before they threw them. After the water fun we had a BBQ with the fam. All in all I think it was a great way to bring in the summer. I am sure there will be many more water parties to come.
