The Sliiide

Our family went to Bali last week for the May holiday. We stayed at a very nice hotel in Kuta, which was across the street from an extremely nice hotel right on the beach! The extremely nice hotel did not mind us using their extremely nice facilities, which included an amazing, huge waterslide into the kiddie section pool area! Judah was alllll excited about that, of course. He ran gangbusters up the 5 flights of stairs with his dad on his tail, and away they went! Fun, fun, fun! And, our little, brawny almost-2-year-old?? You think this was too much or too intimidating for her?? No way! I carried her up, up, up, and we sailed down, down, down with her laughing allll the way!!

After a few times down with mom or dad, Judah decided he was ready to “go it alone!” He climbed up, up, up, looked down over the rail with a frightful look on his face. He hesitated there for a few seconds while we shouted encouragement, “Go, Judah, go!” With some additional encouragement from the lifeguard, he finally mustered up enough courage to go. Down, down, down he went, screaming and crying all the waaahhyyy! Hahaha! Got a picture of it. Pathetically hilarious. One day, he’ll laugh about it, too. Or seek therapy.



Of course, minutes later, I shoved Avery down that big ole thing solo (with an intertube around her middle--I'm not a complete moron!) and she giggled all the way down! Birth order is a funny thing.
