Sand and Water

It's been pretty hot here lately so the boys and I have been trying to keep cool. I saw a triple lane slip n slide at the store and knew that the boys would have a blast with it. I have really fond memories of when I was a kid and my brother and I would spend hours playing with our slip n slide. Needless to say, I was excited for the boys to try it out.

Jack got the hang of it pretty quick. He was sliding from one end to the other pretty easily. Nolan and Grant would run up to it, stop and then try to slide on the little body board that it came with. That was fine with them as long as they were wet! Curtis even got in on the action which was pretty hilarious.

Last Sunday we headed to the beach when we heard that the weather was going to be 93 degrees here. We have a spot in Newport Beach in Balboa that we really like to go to. It was overcast and a bit chilly at 10am. We spent several hours there making sand castles, running in the water and Curtis terrorizing me and the boys with sand crabs. I think most mom's will do anything for their kids. Well I decided I would hold a handful of sand crabs to show the boys how "brave" I was. Yeah, I dropped them like a hot potato and ran screaming like a little girl! The boys got a kick out of it but I think Curtis got the last laugh on that one.

There is a new video with the boys trying out their slip n slide on youtube. Look on the right hand side of the blog for a link to the video if you want to see it.
