So one of the gifts Andrew got for his birthday was a Diego Slip n' Slide and last weekend we decided to set it up and let him play. This was officially the first time I think Andrew has ever seen a slip n slide much less played on one so needless to say he was a little hesitant. It was pretty cute watching him inspect things and how it works. The water was really cold (for some reason our tap water feels like it's been iced down) so it took a little while for him to actually get his entire body in the water. Adam tried showing him how you're supposed to run & slide, but he still had no interest in doing it the "correct way". I actually have a picture of Adam sliding down it, but for his sake I won't post it. Let's just say it was one of the funniest moments that weekend. Andrew finally decided that running down the slide through the sprinklers and then falling on his bottom was the way to go. He must have done this for hours and only accidentally fell twice. It should be a fun summer to spend outdoors with everything we have to do now. With any luck it will make the time fly by until Adam comes home in September.

UPDATE
This is an update on what I said in my last post about Adam's upcoming deployment. As always things have changed. His until has been put back on the deployment roster and is slotted to leave sometime between November and January. We don't know exactly when or even where yet, but as soon as I know something you can be sure that I will post it.
