Kyle & Connor's Birthday

Just days after returning back from Europe, we decided to have Kyle & Connor's birthday party. What was my jet-lagged mind thinking?

Before I knew it, I had called up some of their friends and made plans for the 3rd of July. Knowing it was going to be HOT, I looked for a reasonable theme. My tired mind was not creative when I
thought of WATER.



Water may work. I found a water slide that would fit in our yard. OK - but what goes with water? SPONGES -- or rather, who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SPONGEBOB! Now we have a plan! Wouldn't you know, Albertson's had 10 for $10 on big yellow sponges? It was fate. Now just need some markers and pipe cleaners and we have a craft.


The water slide was a hit. The kids did not tire of the thing. Kyle & Connor and their friends spent hours going down it front ways, backways, stomach, back, sideways... it was hilarious to watch. They came up with names for them like "the super slip" where you try to stand up the whole way down.



Even my little 18-year-old nephew couldn't resist and went down very many times in his full clothes. Here's Connor doing the turbo superman sliding form!
