The preparation begins for the Extreme Slip and Slide Fest 2010.
Meghan and Wes join Tom and Fran. Amber and Perry are the slip and slide officials.
Chad comes to install the new outdoor speakers. We couldn’t survive without our outdoor music blasting Lenny’s playlist.
Everybody has a job and Perry’s is to make the "adult" sweet tea.
Brian and Liz come all the way from Manhattan to join in the slip and slide fun. You can take the Carolinans out of the Carolinas but you can’t take the country out of them!
Leonard saves the day with the Cheerwine donuts. Because they are in such high demand (at this party), they have to be halved and rationed so everyone gets a taste.
The Cheerwine donut eating montage:
One cooler being used as a foot stool – check
One Jeep hard top being used as a table – check
One dog / laundry basket basket used to hold an enormous amount of koozies – check
Who eats the Fritos in the variety box of chips?
Leonard is the Cheerwine Donut King!
Wes and Meghan are super cute despite that Snatch t-shirt : )
Leonard says suck it in!
Elizabeth joins the party and tells us the big news.
What a squid!
Russell and his Magic Hat.
Leonard poses for the camera.
Sandy and Chris join the crew
Me and my little sister Liz
A picture may be worth a thousand words but a video is worth a million more! These are the initial test runs.
The girls are the audience.
As if the slip and slide isn’t good enough, Perry brings a DRZ inner tube to add more fun.
True love is holding the inner tube for your wife to jump through.
Now it’s Tom’s turn.
We call this framing.
Leonard is the resident Japanese tourist for the day as I am relieved of my duties. He’s a brave soul to get right in the middle of the action.
Don’t miss the grand finale at the end!
Another sign of true love is being covered in grass and giving each other a big dirty hug.
The business is clearly happening on the steps.
Claudia loves making those silly faces.
Another cute shot
Brian and Tom say Cheers!
We are so lucky to have Perry as our resident chef and a generous Danny for the new grill. Thank you both!
The girls are chilling out.
Our resident photo bomber, Perry
This is a creative hot dog bun.
Check out Brian’s battle scars from the slip and slide.
You bring these fancy NYC kids back home and there they are drinking beer and eating Krispy Kreme donuts like the good ol’ days.
The party always surrounds the food.
The photo bomber gets bombed by Elizabeth.
Lenny and Elizabeth always have the same goals.
These boys love their bubble gum flavored cigars.
That’s the Antirider on the slip and slide having a good time.
Turtle shell pose
It’s all about composition and Leonard nailed it. I love this!
Drying off with our sexy yellow towels.
You’ve got to love Tom nursing his injury. He is so excited that I have band-aids and Neosporin. Not only do I have band-aids, I have Costco quantities of band-aids.
The cool kids on the step
Fran and Perry get cozy.
The screen on the back door is the nemesis of many party goers but Sandy is the one who finally takes it down. Thankfully Jason fixes it.
Why are these two sitting together like this? I’m not going down this road again.
What do you think this is?
Do not get between a man and his cheesy krab dip and yes, that’s krab with a K. The photo bomber is asleep!
Fran says every night ends up with me either standing on my head or doing high kicks.
The party is so OUT OF CONTROL that Perry is on his phone and Jason is asleep.
The only thing keeping Jason up is a green freezy pop.
Can’t wait for Extreme Slip and Slide Fest 2011 or maybe even Extreme Slip and Slide Fest July 2010!
