Our neighbors, the Markles, have two sons with end of summer birthdays. To celebrate their youngest son's birthday, they rented an inflatable water fun bouncy house. I shudder to calculate how old Ethan is now since I remember his first day of first grade, but he and his "big boy" (as Reese called them) friends enjoyed a day of running, jumping, sliding, and splashing across the street on Saturday.
Rick and Jan were kind enough to invite Reese over to take part in the fun. After nap we showed Reese the set up, but she was hesitant so we went to the pool instead. I think Reese's hesitation was well placed since a half dozen junior high boys were romping around at the time. When we came back from the pool, the party was nearing a close and Reese played on the bouncy house for a short time. The tall slide was out of the question, but she did enjoy running through a tunnel with spray heads showering her from above.
After a few successful runs through the tunnel she decided she'd rather play in the water that was running off from the bouncy house. She poured water in and out of cups until she started shivering and turning a delicate shade of blue--then Mommy announced it was time to leave.
Rick and Jan took some great photos of Reese enjoying the fun and even a short video to capture a few of her runs through the tunnel. Even with the falls captured in the video, she was never scared or deterred.
