SLIP AND SLIDE TORTURE

Published by melodyschif at 10:16 pm under family fun Edit This

This summer we made sure we got lots of activity fun for the whole family specially for my 5 year old stepdaughter. I have seen a lot of commercials about the slip and slide so we decided to get one since Kayla wanted one so much. It looked way easy on the television. Installing it was a breeze but trying it was a different story.

I was kind of hesitant at first for the reason that I’m 30 yrs old and i don’t think i should be doing it.With a lot of coaxing from both my husband and Kayla i finally gave it a try. That was my first mistake. Here is my proof:

My second mistake was i kept trying and trying and trying for the simple reason that i was having a blast! I felt like a kids again. But the most important thing was,we did it as a family. After we got settle for the night was when i started paying for all the fun and the laughter i had. I was so sore and in so much pain i could barely walk. Seriously, it was that bad. For days my thighs were sore that i had to hold on to the banister when going down the stairs. Imagine that plus, holding a wriggling baby in your arm.  I was out of shape,considering i only did the slip and slide.No matter how much pain I had i would never trade that day. Next summer ill be more in shape and ill take it on once again….
