Super Slide!!

A few evening ago our wonderful friends Brian and Melissa invited us to go water sliding with them. I have to say we had the best time ever!! As we pulled in the parking lot and saw how long and steep this "homemade" water side was, I immediately felt the butterflies and nervousness (approx. 180 ft long). Adam and I were more nervous than our kids! The kids had a ball! Makell sure surprised us! We thought for sure she would be terrified on the way down but as she reached the bottom of the hill she ran back to the top and was ready for another turn. Many times she wouldn't even wait for her turn. She would just jump on and go! I'm afraid she is an adrenalin junkie!! Another thing, she was able to slide with Jackson! Those two crack me up!! Anything Makell does with Jackson is at the top of her list!! Kourtney and Kaitlyn had a blast coming up with new ideas on how to slide down. They tried their tummy's, backs, knees, backwards, sideways, and any other way you could possibly think of. Melissa's family and friends were there as well and we had such a great time racing one another and coming up with a new or different way to slide down each time! Melissa has such a wonderful and fun family!! They are pretty entertaining as well!! A few of them would ski down and do frontward flips! (ouch!) We even had an extra participant!! There was a little boy that was sliding down in the mix of everything. We were trying to figure out who he belonged to. Come to find out he didn't belong to anyone there! I guess he saw how much fun everyone was having and thought he would join in! (I wondered if his mother new were he was?) It was pretty funny! It was so fun to watch the kids have such a great time!! When time came for us to leave, of course they didn't want to go! On the way home in the car Makell said, "dat was AWESOME!! I do it adain!" We had such a great time and can't wait to do it again!! Thanks Brain & Melissa!!

Looks like tons of fun!!! Kaylee loves looking at the pictures of you guys she tells me everyday we need to look up Kaitlyn on the computer. She misses her when they dont see each other for a while, we need to get them together before school starts.
