slippin' and slidin'

we took the girls to the waterslides a few days ago

it was the first time they have ever been and they had a blast!

my hubs' work provided us with complimentary passes to the park

which we are very thankful for

otherwise it would have cost us a pretty penny!

it may not look like it from the photos

but pia was deathly afraid of the waterslides

when we first arrived, she was so excited she ran to the first slide

hopped on and didn't realize how fast and slippery it was 

and went flying down the slide

my hubs didn't get to the bottom of the slide fast enough 

so she pretty much flew off the slide like a cannon ball that had just been fired

and did some sort of twist mid-air

(according to my hubs)

and landed in the water with a huge "plunk"....

fully submerged face down

she came up sputtering water and angry

(she has a temper, that one)

and refused to go on any of the slides for a good hour

finally just before we were about to leave

she decided to try one out with my hubs

and of course didn't want to leave after that

we hope to take them one last time before summer starts

but it seems like the last few weeks are just flying by!

we have so much we still want to do before school starts!

i do love fall, but i hope that summer sticks around for a little longer
are you itching for fall to arrive or are you like me
and you're hoping for summer to stick around a wee bit longer?
