    Good Use of a Hill

    Decatur Metro | September 3, 2009

    Decatur First Baptist slip and slide

    My wife and I were walking past First Baptist last night on our way to the Decatur Farmer’s Market when we saw these kids sliding through the trees on a huge tarp in the church’s front yard.

    Being the intrepid journalist I am, I tried to yell over to see what sort of festival was going on, but unfortunately no one responded.  (Just kidding, I didn’t even yell.)

      I want to slide down that thing too! Would be fun to have that out on a hot day when the sprinklers are on — a huge slip and slide.

      It’s all fun and games until you slide past the bottom of the tarp, into a big mud puddle. It’s even worse if you went head first. :)

      It was the First Baptist Annual Beach Party, open and free to all. My daughter saw the sign riding the bus or in a carpool and insisted we go. Darn reading skills! Despite the relative coolness of the evening, lots of water play occurred, including the water slide. Unfortunately, as the evening progressed, it morphed into a mud slide. Baths in order tonight!
