Slip Sliding Away!

An $8 investment paid off big on the 4th of July. Who knew so much fun could be had with a Slip and Slide? Eli decided that for him, the fun was in running on the slip and slide through the water. This resulted in a great deal of inadvertent slipping, sliding and minor "owies".
Eli took his cues from Kjersti who found that the water was just too cold to slip and slide in. I will admit that the water did feel as though it was tapped from a local glacier. I guess in the "North Country" they call that "refreshing".
If you look closely you will see that Eli managed to pick up a few grass clippings from his exploits. A small price to be paid for this excitement, however, one must take certain precautions. In the background, Cody stood a vigilant watch to ensure that once the kids decided to come back into the house, it was sans grass clippings.

Yes, the position of grass clipping guard is an important one.
