Best Day Ever

Any time we do anything fun for the boys they name it the "best day ever". We aim to have as many of those as we can. Today was the first Saturday that Rob has had off for a long time. We tried to make the most of it and started off the day with a lot of cuddling and wrestling. Around lunch time we decided to go pick up a slip n' slide. Rob and I have talked about getting one of these since before we even had kids. I don't know why we waited so long, we all had so much fun!!
Ethan and Porter were so excited to try it out...


...while Lincoln found a safe spot to hang out in the shade.
The one we got has two lanes so you can race, so the boys each got a lane. It took a while for them to get the technique down. The first few times down they only made it halfway.
Rob finally started tossing them down the slide.

Then we decided to join them...we had to see who was faster right?! :)
(Sorry, you'll have to live without seeing my graceful slide)


There was a lot of splashing and goofing around and Porter was trying to hide.


When the boys got thirsty there was a perfect drinking fountain.

Lincoln finally got a turn in the winner's circle. He wasn't too sure about the cold water, but he loves to splash.

We spent hours outside enjoying some family fun time. It truly was one of our best days ever.

Good for you guys! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Those are the best days! Spencer started saying that phrase when he was young and still says it to this day. :)
