More slippy slide!

Yesterday we had more fun on the slippy slide. Summer has finally arrived and although it is rather windy, it is also rather hot!

Abigail goes at quite a speed these days!

Niave has finally got the "sliding" idea but only makes it about halfway up the slide!!

Even Dad got in on the action!! No sliding for him though!

Bubbles - always a firm favourite with my kids. Niave usually pours hers out not long after she's got them and then spends the rest of the time asking for "more bubbles"!!

The evening was ended off with a braai which would have been great if Niave had not nearly set my parents house on fire! She turned on all the plates and the oven of my Mom's stove/hob shortly before we left to go home. My mom had brought in some dishes from outside and put them on top of the hob (which was supposed to be off) covered with a cloth to keep the flies away.

When they got back inside from seeing us off, the lights had tripped and the whole house was filled with acrid smoke from the smouldering nylon cloth. Fortunately when the electricity tripped the stove was switched off otherwise it could have had disastrous results.

Needless to say she was not the most popular grandchild in the family last night!!

We managed to get through today without any hazardous events - probably because she slept for 3 hours this afternoon!!

Hi Ingrid.
It is fun.
We laid down some strict rules:
-only sliding on tummies and
-one person at a time.
It can be a dangerous item, you have to watch carefully.
We don't have a pool so it's a fun way to cool off!
