My Nephew's "Redneck Flume"

These photos are from April...yet priceless.
We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Minnesota for Easter.  Oh yes.  It was Easter.  And boy, was there snow!  The girls couldn't wait to go sliding.  They LOVE the sliding hill. 

 

They go flying down the hill and onto the pond. At Christmas, they even went up the hill on the other side and into the trees. Well, not very far into the trees. We set records this year!


So now it's Easter and there is still PLENTY enough snow to slide.  This is Good Friday.

Fast forward to Saturday.  My nephews arrived and back we went to the hill.  Only guess what!  There is no longer just snow covering the pond.  It was warm on Friday (like in the 40s) and now there is slush.  Does that stop them?  Are you kidding?!

Oh, my dear heavens. 
But this was not the end of it.  They went over and over again.  Sometimes they had to look for the toboggan under the slush.

You would not catch me in there!  I like warm!
The girls went in to the tub back in the house (Grandma's tub is so much fun!).  Everyone had hot chocolate & marshmallows.  Life was so much more than good.

Do you think that's the end of it?  Of course not!  When these four get together, you never know what will happen.  The nephew without a shirt (why were a shirt when it's going to get wet anyway??) decided he wanted a video to upload to AFV--hoping to win $100,000 of course.  After Easter dinner on Sunday, it was back out to the "Redneck Flume". 



Notice how Ebony stays on the side?  Actually, I snapped the photos before she jumped in with them.  Who needs to pay for entertainment when you have something like this to watch? 

Oh, the joy of laughs and giggles and having fun with cousins. 

Treasured memories.


We Three Girls...are kind of crazy sometimes.  (OK, two of them!)
