• The Fascination Of Fun

  

  If we blew it up, we knew they’d come. We had our end-of-the-year barbecue with two monster water slides, enough candy to create cavities in multitudes of children, a plethora of food options, and fun for both adults and children. It never ceases to amaze me at how the chance to barrel down a slide…

• Unexpected Helping Hands

  

  It was pouring. The rain was supposed to hold off till 5 pm. What do weather apps know? We had a barbecue in our backyard, complete with two water slides, and people daring the steep drops. With both adults and kids in attendance, many braved the slides, splashing all the people delightedly on the porch.…

It was supposed to rain all day, which would have put a damper on water slides, outdoor eating and creative play space for close to fifty kids. It didn’t.

• The Glorious Mess

  Doing life differently is the tagline for the group I work with. We proved that Saturday as we hosted two groups of folks, totaling over a hundred people, for a day of barbecue, sweets and massive water slides. We do enjoy entertaining. So we go for broke. One weekend every Spring. We rented two giant water…
