WATER SLIDE!

So the weather has been REALLY hot lately, so humid, it's hard to function in this heat! Sunday was another beautiful day, so we decided to buy a water slide (a length of plastic sheeting with a hose pipe attatchment - so it sprinkles water on the plastic sheeting and you slide along it..) ..Rune was very excited by the idea of a water slide, but I think he imagined an actual slide that you climb up steps and slide down, just with a bit of water! We didnt get home until about 6pm, by which time it had cooled down and was starting to spit with rain. Rune was soooo excited about the water slide, we set it up anyway and all had a go on it! It was really cold water, and Rune was a bit hesitant to go on it (Mummy and Daddy showed him how it was done!!) ...and with a bit of encouragement he started to play on it... and LOVED IT! My camera had run out of batteries so I didnt get any pictures, but next time I will be snap-happy and get heaps of pictures to put on here! It was great fun, we were out in the garden for about an hour, soaking wet and covered in bits of grass, but it was fantastic! Rune thought it was hilarious to slide along the plastic and crash at the end, and to splash water everywhere... and he loved pressing on the sprinkler bit to make the water shoot up really high in the air! The neighbours must have wondered what was going on - there was lots of hooting and laughter coming from our back garden!! Rio was enjoying watching all the dramas in her little bouncer chair... how much fun are we going to have when she's old enough to go on it too?! :D

In other news, we sold our Bluebird and have bought a 7-seater people mover (a Mazda MPV to be exact)... we got such a bargain with the people mover, we're absolutely stoked! Rogie is picking it up after work tonight, so we are very excited to take it for a spin and look at the empty seats and plan more babies to fill them!!!! ;) xxxx
