Our big holiday weekend plans consisted of celebrating our friend Jess’s 30th birthday at our another friend’s house with some out door fun, “garbage can” turkey and some brats on the grill on Sunday afternoon & night. Of course Sunday was the hottest day of the weekend but there was a plan to keep the kids cool and entertained, a Slip’N’Slide! After getting the brand new Slip’N’Slide out of the box, staking it down and filling the pool at the end with air, and getting the kids in there swim suits, it was finally time to add the water.

The water got turned on and clear water slowly started coming out of the hose, clear turned to murky, then murky turned to really rusty and we stopped filling the pool. Lucky the water was running so slowly there wasn’t much water in the pool when we deiced to dump it out and start over. When the water wouldn’t come back on we knew we were trouble. After two trips to C&S Supply and one to Menards (nothing like a little pluming problem when you have 20+ people over) the water in the house was back on but there wasn’t going to be any Slip’N”Sliding. All though the kids were really looking forward to using the Slip”N”Slide with water they did have a great afternoon playing in the “boat” without any water, having snack, playing ball and running around. Avery even managed to sneak in a lawn mower ride with Daddy before we packed up and called it a night.
