Nate and Anne and their family came to visit over the 4th of July week. Since they were here we had set aside the Saturday before the fourth to go up to Walsberg where my sister-in-law's family has a barn and a bunch of fun activities for everyone. The first on the list is the big, big, big slip-n-slide fun. All it takes is:
One large hill
2 huge pieces of plastic on the hill (the really thick kind of plastic that is used in the construction world to cover houses when they are working on them in the winter).
Sand bags, strategically placed, to stabilize the plastic
Place 3 or 4 or 5 hoses in various spots on the plastic
Mix it all together and you have yourself a rather large, very fun, adult size slip-n-slide.
When it was first set up most everyone joined in the fun. Ryan was having too much fun over in the play house and on the play set to come do the slip-n-slide. After most everyone was done however, he came over and would start at a lower spot on the hill and then slide down. As time went he got braver and braver and he ended up going from nearly the top of the hill with out any help. "all byself mom." He really enjoyed it.
Some of the other activities included: zipline (one over water and one over grass), rope swing, playset, horse shoes, tennis, paddle boats. Never a dull moment. So you can see by the following pictures of some of the activities that we did have loads of fun.
