Slip Slidin' through the years

Since it was so warm yesterday afternoon (and today!) the girls set up their new Slip 'n Slide. Every year we buy one (for $5 we're happy to have it last a single summer) and put it at the base of the swing set slide. Then the girls wet the slide and the Slip 'n Slide and have a ball.

How it works

And then I had a "mom moment" and had to track down the photos from the first summer we started this warm weather tradition - in 2002.

L. was 4 1/2 years old that summer and didn't like getting her face wet so she wore goggles. Hey, it worked for her at the time.

G. was 6 years old and a whole lot shorter.

I guess my peanuts (my nickname for kids that my little 3-year-old friend 'Mario' thinks is hysterically funny) really aren't peanuts anymore!
