Grandpa's Surprise!

Marc's dad got the grand kids a surprise after our family pictures were taken. I guess he saw this 'double canon' water slide up in a neighbors yard and asked if he could rent it from them...well the nice people they are said you can just borrow it, and he did! It was a super fun surprise for everyone and all of the kids (even the 'grown up' ones) loved it.

At one point David and Marc tried to get Joseph into the pool because, well boys will be boys :) It was super hilarious to watch! They even enlisted Nicole and Dad to help and well, Dad was the one that ended up getting soaked instead! But they did get Joseph with a bucket, not quite the same but maybe next time :)
At first Rachel was scared to go on the slide so I threw her up there a few times (don't worry she wasn't hurt) and eventually I think curiosity won out. She climbed up there and went down like a pro...like a gazillion times! After she did it the first time she said "I just did it and I just loved it!!"



Yes, Marc went down in his clothes. David was the only smart one, he brought swim trunks. Ah well...his clothes dried...after they came out of the dryer :)

Oh the Anson clan. Such fun! You must have a blast being part of their family. I sure miss all of them. Tell them hello for me!
-Nice jobe on Rachel's cake too!

Looks like you had a great time! I wish I had one of those slides, what a kind neighbor to share. The glow sticks at the sleepover are a fun idea too.

Those pictures are great! I love the one of Dad standing in the pool. Can you email some to me?
