mckenna didnt quite have the motor skills to figure out how to throw her body head first on her stomach down a slippery piece of finite plastic that caused “plastic burn” on the stomachs and shins of her siblings.
or maybe she did and thought everyone else was crazy.
knowing mckenna, i can see either being true.

- All of my childhood memories of slip-n-slides include the word "OWWWWWW" so I'm thinking she figured that part out. LOL
- slip and slide is on my list of must haves this summer
- kenna is one smart cookie--those burns HURT. The gorgeous sun-kissed portraits of your kiddos scream summer. And--Miss Anna's new toothless grin is simply the cutest. By the look of her gums it looks brand stinkin' new. Sure hope the tooth fairy paid generously for that gem.
- Mckenna is beautiful. I mean, so are the others but I was just sat here thinking to myself, and thought I would share. she really is :)
- this is so beautiful :) hearting you. and your family. big time.
- the slip and slide is our start of summer ritual. you have gorgeous, freckly fun kiddos.
- did you see they have a new one now that's a little longer and comes with a skim board. That's as close as us poor MI folk come to surfing!
- lol...oh how I would love a slip n' slide...however here is the south your slip n' slide would slide right into a giant pile of fire ants...thus quickly ending any pleasant memories from childhood...
- Love how you can just about see the children in the background enjoying the child that is sliding in the foreground.
- These are yummy and fun and breathtaking and my goodness your kids are getting so big : )
- I'm a big big big big fan of your family. :) amazing photos, as always. :D
- Enjoy your summer time !!! We are freezing here in Buenos Aires, but al least it is a sunny day. Congratulations for your 4 beautiful kids !!!! Love their freckles !!!!
- These are brilliant. I just love the long shots coupled with the close-ups. Really great!
- mrs. Tara, your children are beautiful. i love when you post about them. They are getting so big. Miss. Anna and bella and hanna would totally hit it off...fun and all girly. take care of yourself. t
- so dang cute!
- I love your photos! Thanks for sharing!
- Ha ha! I saw her walking it and thought, "smart girl!" Your posts have caused me to order a big ass slip and slide with an inflated slipping run. Or whatever you call it.
- A week ago I also laid at the end of a slip & slide with my camera. Made me nervous! Think maybe that sort of thing might require an underwater housing! ;)
- Your kids are beautiful . . . everyone!
- OH MAN! I just bought my daughter the dual slider with inflatable boogie board slip N slide for her b-day! can't WAIT! and i have to tell you... i LOVE the Angel Kisses on all of your kids noses!!! my FAV part of summer! More show up every year!
- i think she probably knows better to NOT want that plastic OH-MY-GAWSH-burn on her chest/knee/elbows, everywhere ;OP hehe. Priceless photos. Love the excitement.
- Freckles = beautiful people! :)
- Can't say that I blame her. Those things are a lot more fun when someone else is on them.
- great shots Tara...:)
- these are great, Tara. I really love the action and closeup combination. BTW, how did you get sunshine? We've had nothin' but june gloom here.
- The shots of your boys are fabulous! I have not been on a slip and slide in many a day...
- slip n slides are the best for kids and even adults who dare to use them! Wonderful series!
- SO much fun! i love all their freckles on the 3 older ones. :) we have the same slip-n-slide and I will have to post some shots I have from weeks ago when the SUN was out. Geez - where's the sun now? :) you are so blessed to have those 4 kiddos.
- your nailed exposure in full on sun makes me jealous... i need to keep working on that! keep sharing your great pics - they are inspiring.
- mckenna is a smarty...slip-n-slides HURT! ;) i adore your cute little family...and all those cute freckles (or angel kisses as my grandmother called them) they have!
- ha! nice url placement. cute pics.
- I check your blog frequently and love seeing the natural fun pictures you always capture of your kids!
- these are great tara! i love the 'action' as well as the closeups..love the freckles! as you know we are a 'freckly family' too!! :) really love the slipnslide one of nate, for a brief second..i considered doing THAT!! haha! your comments about mckenna are too cute too! she looks so cautious..luv it!
- how in the world is the OC that sunny and here at the foothills it is rainy? I wish we were doing the same thing here, but the kids have been bundled up in warm clothes.
- Your son has a twin! Well, a younger version anyway. :o) http://lenahyde.com/blog/index.php/post/259/brothers
