Snow Slide

I have always wanted a huge snow slide. Even as a little girl I would see the Skousin's front yard with a huge slide made out of snow and I would be so jealous. Well now everyone else can be jealous of me! Thanks to my big brother Robert, my little brother Steven, and my cousin Mark, I have the slide I have been wanting my entire life! And after it was built we had to decorate it. I mean who wants a boring white snow slide when it can be colorful?!?
This was one of the first things to be painted on the slide. Gotta love the volcano.

The kids wanted a turn too. We gave them this section of the slide and that was it! The adults were having too much fun to share any more than this area.


The volcano eventually turned into 'Y' mount, complete with hiking path.



Then there is just random stuff painted onto the front of the slide. I had to play a game of Tic-tac-toe with Marc. Don't worry I won.




Robert felt it was necessary to mark our territory. We wouldn't want anyone to think that the slide belonged to someone else, would we?




The group picture! It only took about 3 hours to make the slide and then an hour or so to decorate it. But it couldn't have been done without these cool dudes!





Kaitlyn going around the bend. She didn't want to come in. But being the mean mom that I am, I made her come inside. After all it was 7 pm and she had school the next day.





I made the guys sign their creation

VIP - Mark Vipperman
