MEMORIAL DAY FUN 2009

SLIP AND SLID........................................................

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE YOU HAD A SLIP AND SLIDE IN YOUR YARD???

FOR US IT HAS BEEN MANY MANY YEARS.

THIS YEAR WE DECIDED TO PUT ONE UP FOR THE GRANDKIDS WHEN WE ALL GOT TOGETHER FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

WHAT A BLAST.
MOST OF THE GRANDKIDS LIKED IT. IT WAS A LITTLE COOL THAT DAY BUT NOT TOO BAD.
AS YOU CAN SEE JAMES HAD FUN.....

AND MERRIC, YES MERRIC!!!! WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM FOR TRYING IT. HE DIDN'T SLIDE DOWN BUT HE RAN DOW THE SLIDE AND HAD A GREAT TIME!!!

CIERRA TRIED IT AND HAD A BLAST!!....................

BREEIN THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT.......................

BROCK WAS ANOTHER RUNNER DOWN THE SLIDE................

AND ROZZIE WOULD ONLY TEST THE WATER. SHE HAD FUN WATCHING.

Tommy needed a little encouragement and didn't exactly think it was the greatest so Carolyn thought she'd show them how it was done. GO CAROLYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11


BUT WHEN THE KIDS WERE ALL PRETTY WELL DONE THEY ENJOYED WATCHING THE BIG PEOPLE TAKE THEIR TURN!!!!

Carolyn started it for the adults. She was playing with the kids and just decided to try it herself..Hyrum made a great splash...just like a fish coming out of water ( all the kids said)..

Erika gave it a whirl .....
Tom even gave it a try which led into a contest so see who could get the farthest. He didn't win..


Rodney went farther....
but with all the hair on Steve's chest and stomach he won. He went clear to the kids swing set.


Yah Steve!!!!

Brant went pretty far also but then he tried it on his knees... We women didn't travel as far. Eliza did pretty good

but Sariah tried her skill at sliding on her feet.... we can see how that went. When I went they didn't take a picture they recorded it.



All in all we had a great day.. We had manti chicken, hot dogs, salad, baked beans, rice crispy treats, chips and a veggie tray, and a cake great grandma made.....Yummmmmmmmmmm

We even got a couple of good family pictures. Here we all are.

WE LOVE OUR FAMILY!!

Wow, what fun! I wish I could have been there. I remember slip and sliding with Carolyn. Good memories for me. I am sure this will make good memories for all your grandkids.
