Monster muddin'

My dad got a wild hair a few weeks ago and bought the kids a new play structure. In addition to buying and building the structure, my dad bought the water slide attachment for the slide, then he rigged up a shower head attachment that we hook the hose up to and it sprays water on the slide, the attachment and the whole yard around the slide. We had some people over tonight and since it was stupid hot, we set up the water slide. The kids were a little tentative at first, because the water was awfully cold. Once they got over that, they LOVED it like a fat kid loves cake!

X-man and MT had optimum density and were able to shoot off the extension, way out into the mud.

Lightening McColin was a little lighter weight and didn't quite make it to the mud

X-man had some issue staying straight on the slide

Fortunately, Loosey wasn't horrified by the mess on her child

Bubba wasn't impressed with the cold of the water at first, but he got over that shortly

Curious J went down once, then did his own thing for awhile. Bubba joined him to warm up a bit

Thunder McGavin so wanted to be with the big kids but the water was just too cold for his little body

Loosey, MacTroll and RF watch the fun

Quigs was appalled and horrified by the mud and the mess her kids were getting in to

RF and MacTroll act as "life guards" to the water play

Curious J rocked the sand box

Quigs may not have liked it but how can you say no to this much excitement?!

Looks like loads of fun was had by all... Love the last pic of Bubba. Quigs was probably running from her muddy children so she herself could stay clean... I can totally see that now :)
