Summer Fun
One hundred feet of yellow plastic, that's how long it seemed to me. Stretching from the picnic table, on past that grand pear tree. Water flowing from a garden hose, kept the surface slick and wet. And there I was, first one in line. Was I ready? You bet! One, two, three. Get ready, set and go. Run towards it with all my might. A belly flop and off I go, down that Slip-N-Slide, out of sight. Grass stained knees and sunburned face, all worn out from all the fun. Now it's time to say goodnight, Can't wait 'til tomorrow comes. 9/2/12

I, too, have fond childhood memories of summer days playing on the slip and slide with my friends. At the end of the day, we were bruised and battered from collisions, but we didn't care. Everyone always came back for more! A delightful write that brought back wonderful childhood memories!! Hugs, Rhonda
