"Anyone's life truly lived consists of work, sunshine, exercise, soap, plenty of fresh air, and a happy contented spirit."
-Lillie Langtry
Kristen was visiting from Italy which gave us a rare opportunity to get all the cousins together for some fun in the sun at Nina and Papa’s. The kids swam, threw water balloons, shot each other (and parents) with water guns, had way too much ice cream, and had a great time doing it.
In an effort to keep the kids busy and entertained, Mommy bravely took them to Six Flags on a hot summer day. They rode the usual rides, got wet, and had fun.
One day in the heat was enough for them this week, so the next time it was time to do something they chose an indoor activity. Bowling and games makes for a fun afternoon, especially if it involves air conditioning.
An idea popped into one of the kids’ heads. “Hey, we have something that looks like we could slide on it, and we have all this dish soap that I’m sure isn’t needed for anything important, so why not pour all the soap on the mat and slide on it?”. It turned out to be a pretty good idea, the kids slid on that thing for a long time and had a great time doing it. As a bonus, they were all squeaky clean afterwards.
