Rainy Day Fun

I have three active boys always looking for fun things to do. Rainy days I guess are even more challenging and kids seem to get bored more easily. I am not sure with all the things they have available to them these days why this is so. Maybe they just want to use their own creative minds as they did this one most recent rainy day.
With a big roll of the black plastic that carpenters use, some dish soap, towels and swim suits, they headed down to the reservoir. Guess what they were going to do?
Although I kept telling myself that it isn't that much different than going sledding down the side of this huge hill, my mother concerns and curiosity had to go down and check it out. Needless to say it was quite interesting. The kids rolled out this big sheet of plastic that reached the top and bottom of the hill. Of course the rain kept it wet, dish soap was used to make it more slippery.
They were having great fun taking turns down this black slimy carpet only to have the rain stop. It was a good idea while it lasted.
As I see it, it was good, CLEAN, fun. The only things I would be cautioned with is to make sure it is not lightening, storming etc., wear a shirt with your suit for if you stray the path of the plastic the blades of grass kind of leave its marks and the last is to ensure there are no obstacles in your way that you could get injured.

Have A Great Summer!
