More Watery Delight

Later that day, after the fish and fruit snacks, Parker and Cooper headed over to Harland's house and partook of another on the most lovely inventions known to man, the water slide. (Truth be told, those three weren't the only ones who enjoyed the slide. But the kids couldn't figure out how to take photographs of us while we were partaking.)

Fruit Snacks and Fish

Two of the most exquisite pleasures know to man (that is, if the man is three.)

The Tale of Two Towers

The pile to the his left contains books that have not yet been read while the pile to his right contains the books that have been. (Of course, while I say the pile to the left contains books not read, I must clarify that I mean in the last 10 minutes. You see, Parker reads very fast, and likes to read and re-read to discover layer upon layer of meaning. Then again, maybe he just re-reads to see if the cat in the hat ever stops coming back.)

Obvious Instructions

"Now watch closely. The first thing you do is put your seat belt on, and then you adjust the mirrors. Don't even think about turning the radio on for at least six months, and no cell phones either. Those things will get you killed. Do you have your eagle scout yet? If you don't you can forget about this. Remember, keep your hands at ten & two, ten & two. Red means stop. If you didn't know that already you will never get behind this wheel again. Last of all, you must realize that you are just borrowing this car from me, so when you get out, move the seat back up so I don't have to. It's your fault anyway that my legs are so short."
