Fun times in KY

So, there are tons of thoughts from this past weekend, but the highlight was definitely the $2.32 purchase of a 50 foot sheet of plastic. And yes, I said, 50 feet. Imagine this. . . . a slightly dramatic hill, water, dish soap, and loads of fun! There were a few tears shed, but overall the fun far outweighed the tears.

P.S. If you are interested in such an activity for your little ones, let me share some very important lessons, learned no less at the expense of our oldest children. (sorry kids)

1. Always wear a shirt (boys) and shorts (girls). The grass hurts when you hit it hard and fast. The front of my son's chest is a sad testimony to this lesson.

2. Soap is crucial for speed, or even going at all. I thought that the soap would be unnecessary if there was enough water- I was mistaken. It doesn't go well at all.

3. You MUST have a catcher at the bottom of the plastic. I don't know if you can tell well enough, but most of the pain of the first experience happened as the kids slid off the bottom and into the grass. On Day 2, we had a daddy at the top and at the bottom. Worked beautifully!!

Besides that, have a blast and know that your kids will love you all the more for all the fun they are having!







Good job Daddy! We love you!
