Caution: The slide is much faster when wet.

The Kenny's came by for a play date last week and it was decided to break out the sprinklers, a tub of water, gear up in bathing suits and try to beat the heat. Mallory and Liam played very good together (as they always do) and splashed in the water until they were wet and ready to play on the slides.

We followed them over to the play set and watched as they climbed the steps and made their way to the slides. Mallory went down first and it was quickly realized that due to the wet swimsuit she flew down the slide faster then ever before. She flew off the end and landed square on her bottom. She looked up in shock, became scared, whined a little, then ran to the steps for another ride. Liam was next. He flew down the slide as well, and wasn't too shocked by the speed or the rough landing.

Now we know (for Mallory's sake) that the slide is MUCH faster and MUCH more fun, when wet!
