Slip and Slide

I asked Andy to clean off the tarp from camping (yes that was camping from a week ago) so yesterday went something like this:

The kids came running inside
Kids: "Mom we need our suits on."
Mom: "Why?"
Kids: "Because daddy is doing a slip and slide with us."



Amy talking to Andy "How are you planning to do a slip and slide?"
Andy: "With the tarp I have to clean"
Amy: "Uhhh, are you remembering there aren't any spigots in our neighborhood?"
Andy: "Yeah"
Amy: "So, how are you planning to do a slip and slide without a hose"
Andy: "It 's not a big deal. I'll figure something out." (this is so andy...the engineer coming out in him!)

And sure enough - he figured something out! He and Logan filled up containers of water.

The kids had fun and then Logan thought a bit of dish soap would be even better because who needs the water when you have a little bit of soap. But not only did they add soap to the fun but another tarp! So we had a brief pause in the fun while they got soap and another tarp and then the kids had a BLAST going down the hill. The tarp that Andy was supposed to clean was dirtier than it started but it provided some good entertainment for the afternoon. Jen and I just stood at the bottom laughing and taking pictures!




This is so Andy! Who would think to do a slip and slide without a hose?!?!
