Slip 'n Slide

We had some unexpected visitors this past weekend, Audrey and Henry, so we set up grandpa's slip n' slide. After a few tentative tries, Jack decided to squirt me with water, so I picked him up and slid him down the slide. 

Well, he wanted no part of it, and proceeded to pout for 2 hours. But the rest of them wanted a toss, so after a slide each they went on their own, and spent the next three hours slipping and sliding. Jack eventually came round and went down in his own way with cousin Henry. Neighbor Evie came over and spent the afternoon with us too.

Avery, having the most mass of any of the involved parties, routinely slid off the end of the slide.
