Waterslides!!

We have been wanting to go to the water slides all summer and Kellina's birthday was the perfect excuse. It was a lot of fun! The boys hung out pool side with me. I got some quite time to read and a lot of people enjoying the twins. Joshua is in darker blue if you couldn't guess by the super model pose.
Samantha was so wonderful. It was a day that made me proud. She played with her little sisters all day and didn't once complain about not being able to do what she wanted to do. It was Kellina's day and Samantha helped make that possible.
Kellina turned blue and began to shiver almost as soon as she touched the water, but that didn't stop her. She soon learned that the kitty pool was warmer then where the slides were and she would divide her time between warming up and sliding. At the end of the day Jeff realised he could take the girls down the big slides as long as they sat on his lap. He said the slides scared him, but at the bottom Kellina yelled AGAIN!! They went three times in a row since Kellina was turning three!
Melia went on all the slides she could in the kid pool right away. I know she is not a big dare devil so as soon as she went down the fastest kid pool and her head went under I knew she wouldn't go again. I was right. She only went down with dad after that. She did get enough courage to go on the big slides with dad, but not as many times as Kellina. Although I think it was due to lack of time not lack of desire!
For an idea of how intense the kid slides were enjoy this video of Kellina and Samantha.
