Slip 'N Slide - Take 2

As you may remember from an earlier post this summer, Uncle Andrew and Aunt Jennifer gave Reagan a Slip 'N Slide for her birthday. You might also remember that Reagan had a great deal of difficulty figuring out how to use the Slip 'N Slide. At the time I told her we'd have to see if some of the bigger kids in the neighborhood could show her how to use it. It's been so hot and humid here it took us until the middle of July to find a day nice enough to pull it out again and at the same time spot some older kids outside. I have to say we have some of the nicest kids ever in our neighborhood. I had been envisioning our 7 and 8 year old neighbor girls teaching Reagan how to do this but it ended up being 3 of our pre-teen/early teen boy neighbors who spent the morning trying to help Reagan get it figured out. They were so sweet and understanding and worked so hard to help her understand what to do. I am just so impressed with these guys! They are always wonderful with the girls and I certainly wouldn't expect it from boys their age. Thank you guys! We had a great time (even if we still don't quite understand how the Slip 'N Slide is supposed to work). Maybe next year! lol :)
