Recipe for a fun Farm Residency Activity:
1 part awesome residents/families
1 part ATVs
1 part horses
1 part BEAUTIFUL pasture
1 part awesome weather
1 part smores
Nate is JUST ABOUT in heaven while on this.
Brave girls-sooo surprised Abby actually rode!
Wouldn't be complete without the Smores!
And messy Smores faces.
She just looks like she belongs on a horse.
Such an animal lover this girl is.
Ok, let's be honest. I was more scared than Emma.
I, on the other hand, am NOT a horse lover.
Cute country girls.
Nate ended up being the designated driver of the ATVs for the kids who had dads on call.
(Not that he minded :o)
Recipe for a Rip-Roarin' Massive Slip'n'Slide:
4 parts AgBag (large portion)
1 part Grandpa willing to set it up
1 part tent stakes
1 part hose
1 part hill
1 part cousins
1 part great end-of-September weather!
Cousins. So nice to live close to family!
Ok, don't act like your childhood dream wasn't a slip'n'slide this massive.
I know it was. We could've charged admission for this...it was fun.
Go speed racer!
Fun. Really.
Emma didn't quite get the speed the other girls did. :o)
Sharing apples after the hard work of the slip'n'slide.
So did I try it you ask? Heck yes I did. Jean shorts and all. It really was fun. However, when you run, jump, and land on your rear to go down the slide, the impact jars your brain a little more when you're not a kid anymore. I think the kids thought I was nuts. :o) You only live once, right? (and NO this video is NOT of me jarring my brain on the slip'n'slide :o)

Yeah, that slip 'n slide does look pretty awesome. Too bad I'm on bed rest, we would have come out. Also, I'm completely jealous of the horse ride. I LOVE horses!
Both activities sound/look super fun! You need to go down head-first on your stomach. That will eliminate the brain jarring :)
fun! we used to do those massive slip and slides growing up in UT. and good for you for trying it out :)
Ok that just hurts my knees just watching that video. Looks super fun though. Did I tell you about how we had a monsoon a month or so ago and all my neighbors were out running around in it and I had the brilliant idea of doing a head first slip and slide on my lawn right on the grass, thinking I'd go sailing and it'd be fun. Well instead it was one giant THUD and I didn't move even a centimeter and I just about killed myself and got a facefull of mud. At least everyone got a good laugh out of it.
LOVE the recipes!
I have been wanting to see the Letterman that you were on so I was glad it was on here. WOW! I am completely DAZZLED...that is so cool you were both on there! It is one of Steve's dreams.
Of COURSE you did the slip 'n slide. That's just soooo Saysha. ;) What a fun residency your hubby is in. Love all the fun family activities they put on. Your girlies are adorable as usual. :)
