The surprise for July 4th was a giant slip n slide over in the BNOE pasture.  We had planned on playing on it all afternoon but it was just too HOT to be outside that day.  We went over late afternoon and as Chuck and Ryan were putting down the huge piece of plastic, there was this GIANT thunder and lightening.  It scared the you know what out of all of us.  It made us all run!  Poor Lily Ryann was sitting on the edge of the plastic by me and it scared me so bad, all I had in my mind was to get ALL  of these KIDS OUT OF THE FIELD! and I left Lily sitting on the plastic.  I think in my mind, I knew her Mama or Andrea who had been holding her all afternoon, would run over and pick her up.  I can't believe I didn't pick her up and run to get the other kids.  Nicole teased me how I just " left the baby" ...lol.  We all went inside of the BNOE house for a few minutes to make sure the lightening and thunder was gone.  After that, we headed back to the plastic.  It took a few adjustments before it was working but in the end, everyone had fun.  They all had scrapes to prove it. ...ha.  Shell said two days later, her whole body was sore.  I think they would do it all over again though.
