We have two sweet kiddos living right across the street from us. I know that they’re sweet because I go to church with them! Nicholas and Maria have been a blessing to my kids. They ride bikes together, play at the “big tree” together, and jump on the trampoline together. One day about a week ago, they joined us for some fun in the sun on our slip and slide. It was such a joy to see my children enjoying the friendship of others kids their age. What a wonderful blessing!
In Texas, we were never able to use our slip and slide for a couple of reasons. #1. The grass had too many burrs and thorns for them to run barefoot on it. #2. Fire Ants were literally on every spot on our lawn. Every time we used the water hose, they came out of the ground in troops. We have not taken for granted the lovely green (and burr free) grass that we enjoy here in God’s Country ;], or the fact that the fire ants are fewer!
I thought you might enjoy these photos!

Laci’s first time in. She’s getting some help from her sweet big sister.

Laci enjoyed her first foray in the the world of water fun! In fact, she kept getting in the way of the kids wanting to slide! She just wanted to sit and splash. I need to get her a kiddie pool, I guess!
