Slip n’ Slide Here We Come

For Jessie’s birthday she got a double wide slip n’ slide. Now it hasn’t been especially warm here, but since when has that doused kids enthusiasm for water. Some friends from the ward came over for the inaugural run.

But I guess it was cool enough that most of the kids didn’t last long. I love this close up of Spencer wrapping himself up in a towel.DSC_0014

I soon started playing with the setting on the camera. These four pictures are with different shutter speeds – starting with a slow one and ending with the fastest one 1/4000 of a second.

Can you see how the water changes from lines to drops. Well, I thought it was pretty cool. Mark was quite interested in my camera playing and wanted to watch to see if he could see the shutter open and close. Here is him watching.DSC_0066 And finally here are a series of Spencer sliding.

What a fun cold day. But kids don't care as much as us adults when trying out the new toys. And hows the Lawn?
