S is for Slide, Sun and Strawberries

The sun finally decided to make an appearance so for S day we made sun pictures which were really easy. Just took a piece of construction paper and found some leaves and other items from the yard and left them in the sun for a few hours. Afterwards they left a 'shadow'. Very easy and very cool.

 After that we picked some of our strawberries from the yard. For some reason it's so much better when you grow it yourself. Probably not really in a side by side test but it sure feels like that.

Then the day we've been waiting for, SLIDE!!!!!!!  Jason has been working hard on getting the fort made and ready to go but was kind of stalled because we were looking around for a good deal on a slide. Turns out they're not easy to come by because firstly you can't find many slides on craigslist or other places that's not attached to an already existing structure. Most slides are made for a typical 5 foot structure (we needed 7 which is harder to come by) and they just are hard to find.

So because we couldn't find a used slide at a good deal and things were at a standstill (you need the slide to figure out the other parts) I told Jason if we didn't I was just going to buy one new cause I'd been save for such an occasion. So we ended up going with the higher quality nicer, more durable slide. I knew the boys weren't going to be easy on it. We actually found the best deal on amazon and they told us it was arriving in a big truck. The boys were very excited to see it.

When dad got home he set it up so the boys could test it. Yeahoo!

 

That night two of my best friends from high school were visiting and one brought his son Sawyer. Isn't he cute?
