Boys will be boys #5

A couple of Sundays ago, after we ate lunch, the boys went to Big Lots and bought some assorted water toys for the yard, a blow up swimming pool, 2 slip and slide things, etc. They played with them in the back yard with some neighbor kids.

Came home that night from church and everything was in the front yard with a hand made sign "Park Trails Public Pool" next to the blow up pool.

A little later, Angela just happened to be talking to a neighbor and the neighbor mentioned how much fun the boys had sliding into the pool. Angela had quizzical looks (as you could imagine) and the neighbor went on to tell her what happened.

Sunday night when we were at church, the boys took the slip and slide, put it on the stairs inside the house, put the blow up pool outside the front door, covered themselves with Palmolive dish washing liquid, and slide from the top of our stairs, out the door and into the pool!!!!!!!

Not only that, they videotaped it! I have not seen it, but they showed it to Angela and she about had a heart attack.

Apparently it was the talk of the neighborhood, with cars honking, neighbors stopping by for the show, etc.

I cannot wait to have grand kids and tell them all the interesting things there fathers did growing up!

And by the way, if anyone knows of anything our boys have done that we should know about, please let us know before we see the video!!!
