Sliding

Thought I'd post this today, so we'd have some sun in our weekend.
Kind of a gloomy Saturday here in Southern Ontario, but these pictures were taken about a month ago in some brilliant sunshine. On this particular day, we were introducing Morgan and Liam to their new slide, which their Mommy found on an internet classified ad site. Daddy drove to Cambridge to get it, disassembled it, strapped it to the roof of the car, and then re-assembled it in our backyard.
I don't mind saying the drive was scary, worrying the whole time that the thing was going to somehow escape its tie-downs and bungee cords and fly through the windshield of whatever vehicle was behind me.
Janne had also bought a couple of toy gymnast's ribbons as well, and both Liam and Morgan really enjoyed playing with those - as well as partaking in their first backyard slide session of the season. Some great smiles and sun/shadow pictures in here.
It's always a thrill for me to see them having such a good time.

Trying to get the hang of it...
...and not bad, for his first day.
Love Morgan's smile in this one...
...so let's take a closer look at it!


...with a peek at the still-not-yet-completed neighbourhood in the background.



The gift of happy children ...and a great time in the late afternoon sun.

You know, I'm kinda sad that no one has taken the time to post a comment about how cute the kids are in these pictures. Oh, well. Maybe it's time to turn the comments back off so it doesn't affect me.
