Sliding

Some brilliant sunshine on this particular day, so a great opportunity to introduce Morgan and Liam to their new slide, found on an internet classified ad site. Drove to Cambridge to get it, disassembled it, strapped it to the roof of the car, and then re-assembled it in the backyard.
I don't mind saying the drive was scary, because I was worrying the whole time that the thing was going to somehow escape its tie-downs and bungee cords and fly through the windshield of whatever vehicle was behind me.
Had a couple of toy gymnast's ribbons as well, and both Liam and Morgan really enjoyed them - as well as partaking in their first backyard slide session of the season. Some great smiles and sun/shadow pictures in here. It's always fun to see them having a good time.

Trying to get the hang of it......and not bad, for his first day.
Love Morgan's smile in this one...
...so let's take a closer look at it!

The gift of happy children ...and a great time in the late afternoon sun.
