slide!

instead of a diving board, our pool has a nice slide for us kids to go down. i've been going down the slide since last summer, but never by myself. never, that is, until now!

dean sometimes holds my hand until we get to the top. more often, though, he runs ahead and leaves me in the dust.



ready for take-off!



here i go!



since i really can't swim, someone must catch me at the bottom.
